Kenyan avocado farmers to benefit from expanded China market access

Kenya’s avocado farmers are set to benefit from expanded access to the Chinese market after Beijing granted duty-free access to exports from 53 African countries, including Kenya. The move makes China the first major economy to unilaterally offer zero-tariff treatment to nearly the entire African continent. Previously, the duty-free arrangement applied to 33 of Africa’s least-developed countries. The expanded policy is expected to boost Kenya’s avocado exports and strengthen trade ties between China and Africa.
