Kenyan manufacturers have been challenged to tap into the huge market in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), after its inclusion in the East African Community (EAC) bloc.

EAC Principal Secretary (PS) Kevit Desai urged industrialists to target increasing their production capacities by doing value addition to meet the demand of the 300 million population in the bloc.
