Agriculture CS Kagwe tax boost for edible oil firms in special economic zones
Agriculture and Livestock Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe speaking during the release of the 2024 Tea Industry Performance Results at the East African Tea Trade Association (Eatta) in Mombasa on March 13, 2025.
Edible oil manufacturers operating within Export Processing Zones (EPZ) and Special Economic Zones (SEZ) have got a boost after Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe exempted them from paying a levy on nuts and oil crops and products imported from the East African Community bloc.
The exemption follows an amendment to the Crops (Nuts and Oil Crops) Regulations 2020 signed by Mr Kagwe, through Legal Notice No. 26 of April 14, 2025.
