BAT Kenya will import nicotine pouches should it get approval from the government to sell the products, with the decision coming after the company sold machinery earlier intended to produce the products locally.

The firm's managing director Crispin Achola told Business Daily that the modern oral nicotine machinery was sold to an undisclosed buyer in the year ended December 2024 for an unspecified sum.
