Kenya has a new port for livestock exports

Kenya intends to use a new port for livestock and meat exports. ""The Lamu port is also ideal for livestock exports because it is closer to the key animal production areas in the northeast part of the country," declared Harry Kimtai, the principal secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperative. He also explained that, at this moment, the port of Mombasa is not suitable for this kind of operation.
Lamu port project was financed by the Chinese financial institutions and is part of the Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) corridor.
Kimtai said that Kenya has already signed a number of export agreements with countries in the Middle East to facilitate sale of livestock products, adding that Kenya is keen to export both live animals and frozen animal products to Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt.
