An agreement signed by Trade Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria and the Director General of Indonesia Animal Production and Animal Health, Ir Nasrullah will see Kenya export 700,000 head of cattle every year to Indonesia.
The CS who led a high-level government delegation for a 3-day visit to Indonesia acknowledged Meat and Livestock as one of the sectors to be explored in Trade and Investment partnerships in the trip, which was a follow up to the high-level visit by Indonesian Ministers in Kenya in January this year.
“We discussed the opportunity for Kenya to access the 700,000 cattle per year import market in Indonesia. We agreed to hasten approval protocols that will enable the first shipment of 20,000 herds by August 2023,” the trade minister said in a tweet.
Kuria noted that Indonesia was a high-potential partner in Kenya’s national development agenda, particularly in trade and industrialization and highlighted the need to foster stronger bilateral cooperation including export growth, manufacturing advancements, long term partnership and inclusive development.
During the visit, Trade and Investment partnerships in several sectors including Edible Oils, Mining, Renewable Energy, Blue Economy, Pharmaceuticals, Electric Mobility, Textile and Apparels, Coffee, Tea, Nuts and Flowers have been discussed.
