Kenya’s imports from Tanzania fell by Sh10.23 billion last year on the back of renewed trade barriers, which largely hit the flow of grains from the agriculturally endowed country, official trade numbers show.

Traders trucked in goods worth Sh43.05 billion from Tanzania compared with a record Sh53.28 billion in 2022, according to data collated by the Central Bank of Kenya.
