Kenyan agricultural exports are poised to enter the United States market following a productive bilateral meeting between the U.S. Africa Trade Desk (USATD) team and the government of Kenya.

The high-level delegation, led by Gavin van der Burgh (CEO), Bill Fanjoy (VP, Trade Programs), Jeanah Lacey (Director, Special Projects), Frances Fraser (Director, Continental Services), and Shane Townsend, held extensive engagements with government agencies and top private-sector players across floriculture, coffee, macadamia, apparel, grains, and animal feed.
