Enterprise and Product Development

The Agency enhances competitiveness, expansion and diversification of Kenya's exports through interventions in product development and adaptation such as product design, value-added processing, packaging, labelling, branding and enhancement of exporting skills at both sectoral and firm levels.  In addition, the Agency facilitates the mainstreaming of export-oriented producer groups particularly the youth, women and other marginalised segments of the community into the export process.

 In collaboration with local agencies (e.g. academia, financial institutions, research institutes) and development partners (e.g. JETRO, JICA, ITC, CBI, COMSEC, UNDP, USAID and EU), the Agency will conduct enterprise development programmes including export trade training, export coaching and market linkages for export enterprises.

Partnerships with county governments will also be pursued to create export awareness, nurture an export culture and champion the need for exports for economic development.
