USDA Foreign Agricultural Service Spotlight on East Africa Market

Online webinar

USDA Foreign Agricultural Service Spotlight on East Africa Market

Kenya is a growing middle-income nation that acts as the economic, financial, and transport hub of East Africa.  With increased income, rising urbanization and tourism, and the government’s push for diversification in manufacturing and services, Kenya is on the path to importing more food and agricultural products. Food processing is at the top of the government’s development and business initiatives, fueling steady growth of the industry in the last few years. The growth of the food processing sector provides export opportunities for U.S. suppliers.

We hope you can join us to learn more about this growing market and region.
