Kenya’s US market access options if the Agoa renewal bid fails
Kenyan workers prepare clothes for export under the US African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) at the United Aryan Export Processing Zone (EPZ) factory in Ruaraka, Nairobi.
May 18, 2025, marked the 25th anniversary of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa). For a quarter of a century, this programme has been at the heart of US economic policy and commercial engagement with Africa, offering duty-free access to the US market for thousands of products from eligible sub-Saharan countries.
Unknown to many, Agoa is not a trade agreement. Trade agreements are negotiated between two or more countries and involve reciprocal market access on preferential terms.
