Kenya’s re-exports of jet fuel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) surged more than sixtyfold in three months through June 2024, shining a spotlight on trade dealings with the Middle East country that ships in the largest volumes of petroleum products.

Official data shows the oil-rich country ordered kerosene-type jet fuel valued at Sh27.44 billion between April and June, a jump of 6,079.50 percent over Sh444.12 million in a similar period a year ago.
