Lack of awareness and trade barriers have restricted Kenyans to just 0.3 per cent of trade lines under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa), officials have said as the country seeks to grow its export.

Export Promotion Council chief executive officer Peter Biwott said Kenya is only able to export about 20 product lines against the total of 6,400 provided for under the initiative, 18 years since the trade window was opened.
