Kenya loses UK market share to Rwanda, Dar

[Mkikuyu- Akili timamu]

Kenya must raise production standards and up its marketing to counter similar efforts by its neighbours racing for a pie of the United Kingdom (UK) market, latest trade and investment report states.
According to the latest study by Overseas Development Institute (ODI) exports to the UK from the rest of the world have risen by 15 per cent in eight years to 2017.
Kenya lost out on all its top three exports to the same destination during that period.
Standards
“Kenya has lost its competitiveness to other countries and that has to be rectified by upping its standards, improve marketing and branding of its products as well as diversifying,” said Dirk Wellem Te Velde, principal research fellow and head of Economic Development Group.
Data from International Trade Centre showed that the value of Kenya’s exports to the UK has been on decline, moving from Sh50.3 billion in 2009 to Sh37.6 billion in 2017.
This is tipped to fall further should the country fail to address challenges of infrastructure, diversity and standards to ward off increasing competition.
The study showed that Kenya’s share in UK imports fell from 16 per cent in 2011 to seven per cent by 2014 as vegetables and flowers lost competitiveness to neighbouring countries due to improved wages, marketing systems, diversity and standard compliance.
Diversification
“Lack of diversification has reduced Kenya’s competitiveness and given rise to significant competition from other African countries such as Rwanda, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Ivory Coast, all gradually eating into Kenya’s market share in the UK,” said Mr Velde in the report.
He added that in some cases, where the country has been unable to comply with EU maximum residue limit requirements in exports such as beans, neighbouring countries have capitalised on it to gain share.
Kenya’s top three exports to the UK are tea, cut roses and beans. But between 2012 and 2016, its total value of UK’s imported tea has shrunk by 0.9 per cent while that Rwanda surged by 20.6 per cent.
During the same period, Kenya’s value of UK fresh cut roses and buds shrunk by 2.3 per cent as that of Ethiopia climbed by 88.7 per cent.
And while Kenya’s value of fresh or chilled beans exported to UK fell by 12.2 per cent, Tanzania saw a 12.2 per cent rise.

I said Tz is beating Kenya on Market share Growth. Not beaten the Kenyan exports..To dumb it down,kenya is shrinking as Tz expands. 😀
And this is despite the known bang smokers' frequent trips to the UK to suck britain's penis

Watching! One time ilisemekana hapa tu by 2018 Tz GDP, which is accelerating at an average of 7% annually will be EAC giant. But....,
Many factors have caused the dismal performance of Kenya's exports to the UK., which are fixable. Factually if Tz puts its house in order, with its vast resources, I don't see the reason why it shouldn't top Africa in exports not just to UK but across the globe.

Tz has overtaken Kenya in GDP(PPP) AND GNI. The only remaining Economic metric to be overtaken is GDP -and this is mostly because of Tanzanian deliberate manupulation of their currency like china. Meanwhile Ruto 2022 tena 😀😀

Has Tanzania also deliberately manipulated their mediocre paved road figures?
Or their LDC electricity connectivity percentages?
Or their low salaries?

Vyanzo vyenyu vya mapato ya nchi haviwezi tosheleza your national budget which is half of Kenya's! GDP wapi?., wishful thinking ama ni nini?., what Kenya collects in Tax pekee is bigher than your national budget., sasa hii porojo ya GDP from an opinionated sources doesn't add up! Like Tanzania has 2.7 unemployment rate na 19million(32%), living in extreme poverty., the largest in EAC na SADC!!., endelea kuota because we can do a practical analysis to quantify economic activities and income of both countries ujionee mwenyewe.

Only Bang smokers can lie about trivial things as electricity, ofcourse aided by KPLC criminals
Lying to the President: How Kenya Power managers cooked Last Mile connection figures
The reason for Tz currency manupulation is to give it an edge in exports just like china, and the efforts have paid off
Tanzania reports a $637m trade surplus in 2017
So in actual sense, currency manupulation is a tool international trade which kenya's good friend who now holds 70% of kenya foreign debt is using very effectively
Is Kenya China’s New Colony? 70% of Kenya’s External Debt Comes from China

Keep quoting funny statistics yet the obvious is known.

Tanzania has 32% electricity connectivity. Kenya has grown from 30% to 70% in 6 years.
Kenya has nearly double the paved roads as Tanzania.
Salaries in Kenya and Tanzania are like day and night.
The gap between the 2 GDPs is only growing wider.

Kenya, unlike your bongolala, has free institutions. Anyone can come up with a report and publish it.

There are 200 countries in the world.
We might have reduced exports to a single country, but as long as other countries are buying, we're good.
There are many examples of countries we have increased exports to over that same period.
