Intra-Africa trade presents a big opportunity for Kenyan smallholder tea farmers to secure an additional market and improve their income.

According to Central Bank of Kenya figures, Africa accounted for only 19.4 per cent of Kenya's Sh827.2 billion total trade value in the first three months of 2023, a slight growth compared to 18.3 per cent in 2022.
