Kenyan farmers are set to enjoy a bigger market share after the European Union committed to cut agricultural export subsidies by end of January in line with a World Trade Organisation (WTO) landmark decision passed in Nairobi.

Export subsidies refer to an array of credit and guarantee schemes extended to EU traders to make their products cheaper in foreign markets. The incentives include forex loss compensation, freight cost refund and total tax refund on exportable products.
