Kenya’s earnings from exports to the US recovered to grow by more than a fifth in the year ended last December, signalling a pick-up in demand ahead of the expiry of the current tax- and quota-free trade deal between the two countries later this year.

Traders sold goods worth Sh72.96 billion to the world’s largest economy in the review period, according to provisional data collated by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, marking a jump of 22.81 percent over Sh59.41 billion the year before.
