The Kenyan government has recently authorized the release of 1,300 containers of Pakistani rice that had been held up at the Port of Mombasa. This decision comes after significant diplomatic efforts by Pakistan’s Commerce Minister, Jam Kamal Khan, who corresponded with Kenyan officials to expedite the process. The release not only resolves immediate logistical challenges but also grants duty-free access to Pakistani rice in Kenya until November 30, 2024. This measure aims to mitigate the financial impact on exporters caused by the delay and to strengthen bilateral trade relations between Kenya and Pakistan.
