Regional trade lobby, East African Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (EACCIA), is pushing for the elimination of more non-tariff barriers, including import quotas and customs delays to grow the annual trade among partners.
Speaking during a two-day Zanzibar business conference, EACCIA president Richard Ngatia said while the region has benefited from several trade liberalisation schemes, much more is needed on the elimination of non-tariff barriers to grow EAC economies and position the region to reap from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
