Kenya sees expansion after US House Agoa renewal nod
Ministry of Investments, Trade & Industry Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui makes his remarks during a past forum held at the Nairobi Serena Hotel on October 15, 2025.
Kenya has lauded a decision by the US House of Representatives to pass a Bill to extend the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) programme, which provides preferential access to the key market for goods from select African nations.
The US House of Representatives voted on Monday to extend Agoa for three years, marking a relief for Kenyan exporters to the US who had been hit by tariffs as much as 42 percent from October 1, 2025, and thousands of jobs for firms at export processing zones (EPZs) were at risk.
