Kenya’s imports of fertilisers, oil and glassware products such as drinking glasses and bowls surged in the three months to September widening the trade deficit amid global supply challenges faced in 2022 and a weakening shilling.
The latest data shows that imports of chemical fertilisers recorded the sharpest jump, almost tripling in the three months to September to Sh20.47 billion from Sh7.95 billion in the same period last year.
