The Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) has backed the expansion of the list of commodities transported on the standard gauge railway (SGR) to support the growth of volumes of cargo, which showed signs of flattening in the year ended June.

The State-owned railway manager says it recently added more “principal commodities” such as edible oil, cement clinker, and steel to the list of goods it moves on the SGR to sustain the growth of the freight business.
