Kenya’s agricultural exports to China will begin entering the Chinese market duty-free starting May 1, 2026, a development expected to significantly expand export opportunities for Kenyan farmers and agribusinesses.Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture and Livestock Development Sen. Mutahi Kagwe announced the milestone during a meeting with Chinese Ambassador to Kenya Guo Haiyan, saying the move marks the implementation stage of trade agreements secured following President William Ruto’s state visit to China, as CS Kagwe said the removal of tariffs is part of broader commitments reached between Kenya and China to deepen agricultural trade and expand market access for Kenyan products.
