Kenya’s exports to Tanzania in the 10 months to October have plunged to a 10-year low amid unresolved trade spats between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam, hurting local manufacturers and traders.

Exports to Tanzania in the period to October stood at Ksh23.38 billion ($227 million), down from Ksh28.86 billion ($280.2 million) in the same period a year earlier — reflecting a 18.9 per cent drop.

This is the lowest exports since 2007 and suggests that trade between Kenya and Tanzania has not been lifted by the 2010 formation the East African Community (EAC), which was expected to boost commerce between the six-member countries.




Trade tensions

Simmering trade tensions and suspicions between the two countries over tariff and non-tariff barriers has hurt business between the countries over the years, further thinning sales by Kenyan firms already hit by growth of Tanzania’s manufacturing sector.

The coming into force of the EAC Common Market Protocol on July 1, 2010 saw export volumes to Tanzania rise to a record Ksh38.23 billion ($371.2 million) in the 10-month review period in 2012.

The pact allows for free movement of goods, people, labour, services and capital from each of the six partner states, South Sudan being the latest member.

Tanzania is, however, the only EAC member affiliated to the Southern African Development Community, meaning the country could also be looking south for supplies at preferential terms.




Trade disputes

A number of trade disputes last year, however, saw exports value sink to levels before the EAC trade deal was ratified.

The two countries bitterly squabbled over the 75 per cent tax charge on cigarettes from Kenya and Nairobi’s temporary ban on importation of liquefied petroleum gas through the Namanga border, disputes which were resolved through a temporary truce.

In November, however, the tiff between the two reached near boiling point when Tanzanian authorities auctioned 1,300 heads of cattle after Kenyan herders crossed the border, and burnt 6,400 day-old chicks.

Foreign Affairs secretary Amina Mohamed officially protested, but a long lasting deal is yet to be reached.

The Kenya Association of Manufacturers blamed the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority’s for the woes Kenyan firms face at Namanga border.


Kenya exports to Tanzania hit ten-year low
 
MK254 juzi juzi hapa tulikuwa tunaongelea hili suala na ukawa unakataa. Haya njoo ukatae tena
 
Ukileta habari kama hii unafaa pia ulete na data ya exports from Tanzania to Kenya ili tujue ni nchi gani imeloose zaidi kutokana na hii tension ili ndo mjue kama anachokifanya JPM ni kwa maendeleo ya watz ama anaumiza wanabiashara wake tu.
Manake kulingana na mimi kutoka $280m hadi $227m mwaka huu tofauti ni $55m.... Hio si nyingi, considering hata hapa Kenya production ilipungua sababu ya hofu za uchaguzi mkuu uliochukua miezi kama 8 .... Kwahivyo hata hapa ndani ya Kenya, supply ya bidhaa hizo hizo tulizowaletea zilipunguka....
Alafu ukiongezea makampuni kama nakumatt ambayo hua pia yanachukua bidhaa za kenya ma kuziuza Tz. Nakumatt mwaka huu ilishindwa kufanya hivyo kwahivyo ikachangia kupunguka kwa hio export.

Alafu mbali na hayo, serekali ya Tz yenyewe imekua ikibania bidhaa za kenya kuingia Tz..


Baada ya hayo yooooote, exports zimepungua na $55m pekeeee?????
 
Kuna bidhaa za Kenya ni nzuri sana kuliko za Tanzania
Naona Brookside anatumia Uganda kuleta maziwa yake Tz
 
Kila thread ina lengo lake, sijaleta data za tz maana huu uzi haulengi kulinganisha hz nchi mbili, bali kuonesha jinsi export ya kenya to tz ilivyoshuka than ever, kitu ambacho wakenya wenzio wamekuwa wanakikataa humu.

Jiskie huru, anzisha uzi wa kulinganisha hizi nchi mbili na tutachangia kama uzi unavyotaka.

Pamoja na sababu ulizozitoa, ban mliyopigwa ya kuleta bidhaa zenu kutokana na ujeuri wenu ndo sababu kuu.

Ni kweli, suala la ubora haliwezi kuwa sawa! Hata hivyo ili kuwalinda hao wazalishaji wa ndani ni vyema kuwalinda kwa kuwapunguzia ushindani.

Brookside nahisi ni kenyatta family, hao ni wajanja kwenye biashara hawakubali kupoteza soko kirahisi
 
Ukichukua maziwa yao sasa yameandikwa made by .... Uganda for Brookside

Hayo yote niliyoyaongelea yako interrelated, kuongelea exports from kenya to tz pekee bila kuongelea sababu na kwanini kulingana na evidence itakua ni upuzi...

Kwa mfano, wewe kulingana na wewe umeamua kwamba kupungua kwa exports to tz ni kutokana na ban tuliyopigwa kwasababu ya ujeuri...hio inaeza ikawa ni ukweli au si ukweli, sababu nyengine inaeza kua hizo nilizo ongelea hapo awali, sababu nyengine inaeza kua Tz imeanza kujenga viwanda vinavyotengeneza products ambazo kenya ilikua ikiwaletea... The only way kujua hivyo ni kuangalia exports za Tz to Kenya kama imepanda au kushuka na ni bidhaa gani zimeongezeka au pungua, tukienda kihivyo ndo tutajua kweli kama sababu kuu ilikua ghani haswaa
 
Yatashuka Sana tu saivi tuna viwanda kedekede import ya kazi gani? Sio kwa bidhaa za Kenya pekee juzi Magufuli kasema importation imeshuka kwa zaidi ya 40% generally
