What Kenya should do to benefit from US free trade deal
Wednesday February 10 2021
Summary
The timing of the negotiations could not have been more opportune given the expected expiry of the African Growth Opportunity Act (Agoa) in September 2025.
If Agoa expires without a tangible preferential trade agreement in place, the only way Kenya, as a developing country, can continue trading with the US is through the Generalized System of Preference (GSP).
Kenya is currently negotiating a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States of America. This is in line with the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, which vests functions on foreign affairs, foreign policy, and international trade with the national government.
