China floods Kenya with Sh671bn goods ahead of trade deal
Investments, Trade and Industry Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui address business community from Nakuru County on August 15, 2025 at Sarova Woodlands Hotel, Nairobi.
China swamped Kenya with a record Sh671.25 billion worth of goods in 2025, pushing Beijing’s share to nearly a quarter of Nairobi’s total import bill amid sustained demand for steel, electronics, and heavy machinery.
The Sh95.11 billion growth from Sh576.14 billion recorded in 2024 reflects continued imports of Chinese products for use in projects on infrastructure, manufacturing, and communications networks, amid concerns about a widening trade deficit in favour of Beijing.
