The Trade Ministry has pledged to help Kenya exporters recover tariffs paid during the four-month lapse of the US’ preferential African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) trade pact, opening the door to a potential cash injection for manufacturers and agricultural exporters hit by higher duties.

The refunds are expected within 90 days once the proposed extension of the Agoa to December 2028 is enacted.
