Nairobi exporters will enjoy a 50 per cent cut on rail freight costs from January as the government moves to encourage local shippers to use Mombasa port.

The Kenya Railways has said shippers moving cargo from the Nairobi Inland Container Depot (ICD) to Mombasa terminal by the standard gauge railway (SGR) will pay half what importers pay to move items in the reverse direction.
