The Nation has established that the ban was lifted following high-stakes diplomatic overtures...
Sudan has lifted a 20-month ban on Kenyan tea imports following talks between President William Ruto and Prime Minister Kamil Idris, reopening an important export market for Kenyan traders. The decision was announced by Ruto after his meeting with Idris on the sidelines of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Heads of State and Government Summit in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The reopening offers Kenyan tea traders an opportunity to resume business with Sudanese buyers after the prolonged interruption, potentially boosting export earnings from one of the country's leading agricultural commodities.
