NAIROBI, KENYA: Manufacturing has proven to be a hard nut to crack over the last decade. The sector has shown sluggish growth, with data from the Economic Survey 2018 showing it grew by a paltry 0.2 per cent last year.

Bogged down by the high costs of doing business, factories have been shutting down their plants, laying workers off and where possible, shipping operations out of the country. But this bleakness might come to an end, and with it an opportunity for small entrepreneurs to move in.
