NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 27,2015 - Kenya and Zambia have just concluded the Joint Permanent Commission of Cooperation (JPCC) negotiations that will see the two countries increase volumes of trade between them.
The two countries are planning to open trade barriers that will see specific goods from Zambia access Kenyan market and vice versa.
Speaking after the two day session of the ninth JPCC in Nairobi on Saturday, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed noted that despite the long relationship between Kenya and Zambia, the trade remained very low.
“We have had the issues of technical barrier to trade, where some products that would have sold very easily in the Zambian market as well as the Kenyan market have been excluded because of the barriers that we have had. We are not doing too well and that is the best reason we are having this meetings,” Mohamed noted.
At the moment the trade between Kenya and Zambia stands $70million worth of exports in Zambia and about $50million exports into Kenya.
