Increased demand for Kenya-made clothes saw two new export-only factories opened in 2019, with the investors spending Sh600 million on the new facilities.

The new investments helped increase the total amount of funds injected into clothes-making ventures within export processing zones (EPZ) by 3.3 percent to stand at Sh16.7 billion, while operational clothes factories rose to 24.
