CS Kagwe Engages Iranian Business Delegation to Unlock Tea Trade Ban.

Kenya, as the world’s leading exporter of black tea, is committed to strengthening bilateral trade ties and ensuring our high-quality tea reaches global markets.

The Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development Sen Mutahi Kagwe, yesterday held a meeting with Iranian business groups to deliberate on lifting the current ban on Kenyan tea exports to Iran. The discussions also focused on exploring expanded trade opportunities not only with Iran but across the broader Middle Eastern and Central Asian regions.

Reopening access to Iran’s robust market could be a game changer for tea farmers and the entire tea value chain.

The CS was accompanied by the Ambassador of the Republic of Kenya to the UAE H.E. Kenneth Milimo Nganga, KTDA Chairman Mr. Chege Kirundi and the CEO Mr. Wilson Muthaura.
