US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross on Wednesday urged African countries to fulfil their obligations under the terms of Agoa, a preferential trade programme of considerable benefit to Kenya.

More than 66,000 jobs in Kenya are linked to Agoa, which earned the country Sh35.2 billion in textiles and apparel exports last year.
