AMMAN — The Kingdom displays competitive characteristics for more than 46 local products to enter the Kenyan market, a Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI) study showed on Tuesday.
The study noted that such Jordanian products are mainly manufactured in the construction, chemical, cosmetics, plastic, rubber, leather, engineering, electric, wood and furniture fields, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The survey showed that local products face some non-customs obstacles that are related to time and high fees at Kenyan ports. Jordan’s exports to Kenya in 2016 valued some $4 million, compared to $5.77 million in 2015, marking a 38.9 per cent drop.
