Kenyan exporters to America expect an extension of the Agoa arrangement to shield them from tariffs as much as 42 percent from 2026, preserving thousands of jobs for firms at export processing zones (EPZs).
Proposals for the expected three-year extension of Agoa, which allows it preferential access to the key market, are currently before the US Congress, and if successful, would temporarily restore duty- and quota-free access for eligible Kenyan goods, largely apparel and textiles.
