Hongera na pongezi za dhati ziwafikie timu inayopambana kutafuta soko la mbali, hii muhimu sana maana humu EAC na Afrika ya kati wote tushawatia kwapani, sasa ni mwendo wa kuhakikisha na huko nje wote tunawaburuza.
Pakistan ambao tunawauzia majani chai kwa wingi, uagizaji wao ulipandisha 19.37% na kufanya biashara ya Ksh24.13 billion (au $225 million za Kimarekani).
Haka kainchi ketu kadogo tena asilimia kubwa kame tupu lakini akili kubwa ndio nguzo yetu....

Pakistan overtook Uganda to become the biggest buyer of Kenyan goods in the first five months of the year after supplies to Kampala were largely slowed by coronavirus-induced delays at the border.
Earnings from exports to Pakistan, predominantly tea, bumped 19.37 percent to Ksh24.13 billion ($225 million), pushing the world's fifth most populous country back to the summit of top importers of Kenyan products for the first time since 2017, official data shows.
The data collated by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows supplies to the land-locked Uganda, Kenya’s largest overall trading partner, dropped 5.65 percent to Ksh20.22 billion ($189 million), largely hurt by delays in April and May due to a requirement for truckers to have Covid-free certificates.
That slowed delivery of goods – including vegetable oils, fuel, iron and steel as well as paper and paperboard– to Kampala, pushing the country down to third biggest buyer of Kenya’s after being leapfrogged by the United Kingdom (UK).
Revenue from exports to the UK, the former Kenya’s colonial master, grew at the fastest pace of 30.06 percent to Ksh21.49 billion ($200 million) on increased demand for fresh farm produce such as fruits, cut flowers and vegetables.
Kenya Flower Council, the lobby for large-scale flower farms, said demand for Kenyan fresh produce in Europe and other key destinations has been rising since April at about 30 percent of targeted sales to current levels of nearly 75 percent.
