Kenya reaches out to TZ over stalled EU deal

Kenya’s private sector has opened fresh talks with Tanzania in a fresh bid to convince the least-developed East African Community peer to sign the stalled trade deal with 28-member European Union.

The Kenya Private Sector Alliance has entered into a partnership with the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation to discuss regional and international trade, among key issues being the Economic Partnership Agreement between the region and the European Union.

The partnership was entered into last Friday, Kepsa business regulatory environment consultant Patrick Tonui said yesterday.

“We want to look at how we can support trade between us and the international markets. In our discussion, they (TPSF) recognised that this is a conversation they need to have in Tanzania, and they are having it,” Tonui said during the Kepsa’s quarterly media briefing in Nairobi.

Tanzania is perceived to be the stumbling block in the deal which gives the region quota-free and duty-free market access to the EU.

Only Kenya and Rwanda have signed and ratified the EPA deal. Uganda has shown intentions to signs, according to East African Affairs Principal Secretary Betty Maina.


Tanzania has declined to sign the pact twice in 2014 and 2016, saying it will hurt the growth of her industries. Burundi on the other hand cited the wavering diplomatic relations with the EU which came after President Pierre Nkurunziza re-election bid.

Kepsa however believes that private sector intervention in all EAC member states will lead to the conclusion of the deal.

“We want our country to grow and we think all our partner states are of the same opinion so they will need to change how they do trade with Europe and other states, and they cannot always depend on being least development countries to access these markets,” Tonui said.

Tanzania is riding on its LDC status to access the EU market under the Everything But Arms initiative.

“We are optimistic that we should all be signing but from our part here in Kenya we know that this is the path that we are going,” Tonui said.

Upumbavu gani, mazungumzo ya kuangalia namna gani Africa Mashariki inaweza kufaidiaka na fursa za biashara pamoja na Jumuia ya Ulaya?
Badala ya kuuona ni upumbavu kwa nini usijiulize mbona Kenya na Rwanda wamekubali bila kuwa na kigugumizi? Angalia Kenya ilivyo na viwanda vingi tofauti na sisi tusiokuwa na chochote, hawaogopi kushindanisha viwanda vyao na vile vya Ulaya. Sisi kisingizio ni kulinda viwanda vyetu (kama vipo). Kenya na Rwanda zina ugeni wa kila siku wa kibiashara kutoka Ulaya (fuatilia takwimu za ndege ngapi zinatua kila siku na kutoka wapi kwenye viwanja vya Kigali na Jomo Kenyatta ukilinganisha na vyetu - Kia na JNIA
Hata tukija kwenye mali ghafi zihitajikazo Ulaya, kama zitakuwa kwa wananchi basi serikali itafanya hima kuanzisha mamlaka ya kuzisimamia biashara hizo huku ikiacha mzigo wa gharama ukimlalia mwenye mali. Urasimu usio na tija.
Siasa bongo zinafanya mambo mengi saana ya maendeleo yakwame au yachechemee.
Kingine, wenzetu hawana double standard katika maamuzi yao na utekelezaji wao waa kazi zao za kila siku.

Usirukie vitu ambavyo huelewi! kwahiyo kigali inapokea ndege nyingi kwa siku kutoka Ulaya kuliko JNIA na hiyo ni sababu ya kukubali EPA! Uache uchoko! EPA haiko kwa manufaa ya nchi za EA! Kenya wanalilia flower industry ambayo haijafika hata $1 bln around $700 mln wakati huohuo hata sie tuna horticulture industry ambayo imefika $600 mln in export na tupo tayari kukataa kusaini! tunaongelea ushindani wa viwanda na si kusafirisha bidhaa za kilimo. Kenya ni vibaraka!

From Kenya with love: Record numbers of roses from Kenya exported to Australia for Valentine's Day

  Roses from Kenya on sale in the remote Kimberley town of Kununurra, Western Australia.
  
  (ABC Rural: Matt Brann)
  If you bought a rose for your loved one this Valentine's Day, there is a chance it has travelled a very long way.
  
  Figures from the Federal Department of Agriculture show that Australia imported more than 9 million rose stems this month, with the majority sourced from Kenya.
  
  Since the start of February, 5.22 million rose stems had been imported from Kenya, up by nearly 850,000 roses in the same period last year.
  
  It is understood to be a record for the Kenyan rose trade to Australia.
  
  Jasmin McFadden, who runs a flower shop in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, said she was surprised when told the roses she was being sent were from Kenya.
  
  "It would appear that local supply cannot keep up with demand, especially around Valentine's Day, so they're all imported unfortunately," she said.
  
  "It's quite amazing. It's a very long flight, without water too."

  Kenya, Africa's leading flower exporter, sees demand for its flowers in EU market rise 5 pct as [HASHTAG]#ValentinesDay[/HASHTAG] nears http://xhne.ws/mF4l5
  
  7:02 PM - 13 Feb 2017
  
  Kenya is one of the world's biggest exporters of roses, and according to the Kenya Flower Council (KFC), the nation's floriculture industry earned Kenya shillings 62.9 billion ($AU792million) in 2015.
  
  The Council's website said flower farms in Kenya employ more than 100,000 people and are on track to expand greatly over the next five years.
  
  Earlier this year, Kenya Airways Cargo (KQ Cargo) entered into an agreement with QANTAS to export flowers to Australia.
  
  In its press statement, KQ Cargo said it was aiming to freight over 30 tonnes of flowers into Australia every month.
  
  KQ Cargo sales manager Patricia Odida said Kenya Airways' relationship with the Australian airline had enabled the success of the new service to uplift flowers via Johannesburg into Sydney and Melbourne.
  
  "This is a major game changer for Kenya in terms of increasing trade exports of flowers to non-traditional markets," Ms Odida said.
  
  "This partnership opens up the Australian market for exporters and is a business opportunity for us to generate revenue."
  
  Australian roses struggling to compete
  The increase of flower imports to Australia is putting pressure on local growers according to the Flower Association.
  
  Executive officer Shane Holborn said the rise of imports had been exponential and was putting some Australian producers out of business.
  
  "A lot of our local growers are pretty disappointed by the ready-availability of imported roses," he told ABC Rural.
  
  "They've been coming in for years for Valentine's Day only, and then over the last five to eight years they've really been ramping up almost exponentially year on year.
  
  "There's a lot of growers who have gone out of business.
  
  "I was speaking to a rose breeder based in Victoria and he was saying at least half of the rose growers on his books have dropped off and not growing any longer.
  
  "And that's mainly because they can't compete against imports on price."
  
  Mr Holborn said flower imports would no doubt continue and industry was pushing for tighter biosecurity.
  
  "Our biggest fear at the moment is what we feel is insufficient biosecurity protocols in place at the border," he said.
  
  "There's a number of issues such as insects coming in on certified pathways and also the packaging tends to deteriorate more than it should, which poses a risk at point of entry that boxes are open, collapsed or compromised."

Let your brains work, at least for once. Nimekwambia Kenya has many industries that Tz, na kwa taarifa yako hata tourist sector ya Rwanda inaingiza hela nyingi kuliko Tz.
Tukiangali hata upande wa minerals Kenya sells far higher a bigger sale of Tanzanite than us, where are we (tusiokuwa vibaraka)?
Hiyo flower industry wenzetu wako mbele because they have a huge market share than us due to their good marketing strategies. Sintashangaa kuna mamlaka ya maua au chombo kinachoshinda ofisini tu ili uuze maua. Kenya mkulima wa maua ana mteja wake Ulaya, na wanakwenda mbali sana hadi wanauza mno New York, USA.

Why EAC’s EPA wit the EU just doesn't add up

The EPA issue has once again re-emerged when Tanzania informed EAC Members and the EU that it would not be able to sign the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between EU and the six EAC Member States in early July.

The European Commission reportedly proposed signature of the EAC EPA in Nairobi, on the sidelines of the 14th session of the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XIV). This is a major quadrennial event where all UN Member States negotiate guidance for UNCTAD, a UN institution working on trade and development. For the European Commission, it would have been a propitious place for a signature ceremony in order to project the EPA as a ‘trade and development’ agreement to the benefit of EAC. Yet, the agreement is antithetical to Tanzania’s as well as the region’s trade and development prospects.

The EPA for Tanzania and the EAC never made much sense. The maths just never added up. The costs for the country and the EAC region would have been higher than the benefits. As a Least Developed Country (LDC), Tanzania already enjoys the Everything but Arms (EBA) preference scheme provided by the European Union I.e. we can already export duty-free and quota-free to the EU market without providing the EU with similar market access terms. If we sign the EPA, we would still get the same duty-free access, but in return, we would have to open up our markets also for EU exports.

Threats to domestic producers and industries

The EPA is a free trade agreement. Tanzania would reduce to zero tariffs on 90% of all its industrial goods trade with the EU i.e. duty-free access on almost all EU’s non-agricultural products into the country. Such a high level of liberalisation vis-à-vis a very competitive partner is likely to put our existing local industries in jeopardy and discourage the development of new industries.

Research using trade data shows that Tanzania currently produces and exports on 983 tariff lines (at the HS 6 digit level). (The EU produces and exports on over 5,000 tariff lines). When the EPA is implemented, 335 of the 983 products we currently produce would be protected in the EPA’s ‘sensitive list’, but 648 tariff lines would be made duty-free. I.e. the existing industries on these 648 tariff lines would have to compete with EU’s imports without the protection of tariffs. Will these sectors survive the competition?

These 648 tariff lines – the domestic sectors or industries which are likely to be put at risk include agricultural products (e.g. maize products, cotton seed oil cake); chemical products (e.g. urea, fertilizers); vehicle industry parts (tires); medicaments; intermediate industrial products (e.g. plastic packing material, steel, iron and aluminium articles, wires and cables); parts of machines and final industrial products (e.g. weighing machines, metal rolling mills, drilling machines, transformers, generating sets, prefabricated buildings etc.); parts of machines (parts of gas turbines, parts of cranes, work-trucks, shovels, and other construction machinery, parts of machines for industrial preparation/ manufacturing of food, aircraft parts etc.).

The list does not stop here. Liberalisation (zero tariffs) also applies to the many industrial sectors that Tanzania and the EAC do not yet have existing production /exports – about 3,102 tariff lines for Tanzania.

Threatening Regional Industrialisation and Trade

Statistics show that in fact, for the EAC region, the African market is the primary market for its manufactured exports. In contrast, 91% of its current trade with the EU is made up of primary commodity exports (agricultural products such as coffee, tea, spices, fruit and vegetables, fish, tobacco, hides and skins etc.). Only a minuscule 6% or about $200,000 of EAC exports to the EU is composed of manufactured goods. In contrast, of the total EAC exports to Africa, almost 50% is made up of manufactured exports - about $2.5 billion - according to 2013 – 2015 data. Of this, $1.5 billion are EAC country exports to other EAC countries.

These figures tell two stories. One, the importance of the African market for EAC’s aspirations to industrialise. In contrast, the EU market plays almost no role in this. Two, the EAC internal market makes up 60% of EAC’s manufactured exports to Africa. I.e., the EAC regional market is extremely valuable in supporting EAC’s industrialisation efforts.

The EPA would threaten this regional industrialisation opportunity that is currently blossoming since most EU manufactured products would enter the EAC market duty-free. Just as our manufactured products are not competitive in the EU market, even though they can be exported duty-free, might it not be the case that when EU manufactured products can come duty-free into the EAC market, EAC manufactured products may also not sell?

The EPA could in fact destroy our economic regional integration efforts. The pains EAC has taken to build a regional market may instead help serve EU’s commercial interests by offering the EU one EAC market, rather than ensuring that that market can be accessed by our own producers.

Removing an Important Industrialisation Tool - No New Export Taxes

The other area where the EPA hits the heart of our industrialisation aspirations are its disciplines on export taxes. At the WTO, export taxes are completely legal. The logic of export taxes is to encourage producers to enter into value-added processing, hence encouraging diversification and the upgradation of production capacities. Developed countries themselves had used these policy tools when they were developing.

The EU has a raw materials initiative aimed at accessing non-agricultural raw materials found in other countries. According to the European Commission, ‘securing reliable and unhindered access to raw materials is important for the EU. In the EU, there are at least 30 million jobs depending on the availability of raw materials.’ In implementing this initiative, the EU has used trade agreements to discipline export taxes. The EPA prohibits signatories from introducing new export taxes or increase existing ones.

For Tanzania and the EAC region with its rich deposits of raw materials including tungsten, cobalt, tantalum etc., such disciplines in the long-run would be incongruent with our objective to industrialise and add value to our resources.

Losing Important Tariff Revenue - Shrinking the Government Coffer

The other area of loss resulting from the EPA is tariff revenue, and the numbers are not small.

Conservative estimates (assuming import growth of 0.9% year on year) show that for the EAC as a whole tariff revenue losses would amount to $251 million a year by the end of the EPA’s implementation period Cumulative tariff revenue losses would amount to USD 2.9 billion in the first 25 years of the EPA’s life. For Tanzania, the losses based on 2013–2014 import figures are about $71 million a year by year 25. Cumulatively, just for Tanzania, they come up to $700 million over the first 25 years.

Where is the Promised Development Aid?

EU has made many promises that the EPA would be accompanied by development assistance. Hence the EAC EPA incorporates a ‘Development Matrix’ containing a list of economic development projects for the EAC. The price tag of implementing this Development Matrix is $70 billion. The Matrix and assistance is to be reviewed every 5 years. For the time-being, the EU has pledged to contribute a paltry $3.49 million, which translates into 0.005% of the total required funds! This is also a far cry from the tariff revenue losses the region faces – the $251 million a year mentioned above.

The EPA to Safeguard Kenya’s Flower Industry – A Fair Exchange?

The only area where the EPA is supposed to serve the interest of the EAC is by providing duty-free access to Kenya. As a non-LDC, Kenya does not have duty-free access via the EU’s EBA. Kenya’s main export item to the EU is flowers – just over $500 Million a year. Without the EPA, Kenyan’s flowers would be charged a 10% customs duty.

There are other Kenyan exports also –vegetables, fruit, fish - that will face tariffs. However, the flower industry has thus far been the most vocal. Nevertheless, all in all, Kenyan exports to the EU market (including the UK) amounts to about $1.5 billion. If no EPA is signed, the extra duties charged to Kenyan exports amounts to about $100 million a year.

Is this worth signing an EPA for? The avoidance of duties of $100 million? The tariff revenue losses as the EPA is implement (and more tariff lines are liberalised) would be comparable. This does not even include the tariff revenue losses of the other EAC LDCs, nor the challenges posed to domestic / regional industries.

In addition, the Brexit development is further reason for the region to pause and reconsider. The UK is a major export market for Kenya, absorbing 28% of Kenya’s exports to the EU. This reduces the EPA’s supposed ‘benefits’ by a quarter for Kenya.

There is a possible solution for Kenya – to apply for the EU’s Generalised System of Preferences Plus scheme (GSP+). Under this, almost all of Kenya’s current exports could enter EU duty-free including flowers and fish. This option could be explored. Alternatively all EAC countries would do well to attempt to diversify production and exports away from primary commodities towards value-added products, and also to diversify our export destinations.

Africa is a critical market for EAC’s manufactured goods. Regional integration and trade is the most promising avenue for EAC’s industrial development. The EPA would derail us from that promise.

It should be understood that most industries in Kenya are owned or run jointly between the local and foreign investors. So it's obviously the Eu conglomerate s (my presupposition) will use their fellows in Kenya to persuade Tanzania to sign for their selfish ends.
