“Thanks to UNCTAD’s support to analyse and simplify trade procedures, KenTrade has been able to map out procedures for ninety-five (95) commodities since 2018. To date, procedures for export of coffee, tea, meat and meat products, flowers, nuts and oils, avocado, fish and cotton have been simplified, reducing cost and time for a first-time trader. The simplification process has reduced the administrative and cost burden incurred by businesses. More specifically, the registration procedure went from Kes.40,197.35 (USD 402) to Kes.15,287.29 (USD 153), thus saving businesses a total of KES 24,910.06 (USD 250), approximately 62 percent of the total cost”.
