The highly competitive market in the European Union with stringent market requirements remains the biggest hurdle for Kenya’s exports, a report has shown.
The Global 2023 Horticulture report indicates that high cost of compliance to standards, frequent interceptions due to exceedance of pesticide residues, high freight costs and expensive air transport are among the market constraints on Kenyan produce.
Presented on October 2, 2024, the report also indicates that the global market risks commercial disputes arising from issues like non-payment for deliveries.
In terms of production, the report cites high input costs, fertilizers, fuel, labour and inadequate extension services in public and private sectors as some of the constraints.
