Critical minerals seen as strategic offset after end of Agoa
Packed minerals for export at the Base Titanium Mining Plant in Kwale County in this photo taken on June 29, 2022. Base Titanium ceased operations in Kenya last year after 11-year exploration.
The exploitation of Kenya’s critical minerals is expected to compensate for dwindling textile and apparel exports following the expiry of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa), which gave the country access to the US market on duty, quota free terms.
The International Trade Centre (ITC) Executive Director expects the country to shift some of its investments to exploit the critical minerals, which are in high demand by the US as it sees them as crucial in technological advancement.
