Protracted trade dispute between Nairobi and Dar es Salaam has hit Kenya's dairy sector hard with the value of exports to Tanzania dropping by 80 per cent between 2014 and last year.
Data from the Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) indicates exports to Tanzania dropped to Ksh130 million ($1.3 million) last year from Ksh648 million ($6.3 million) the previous year. The regulator attributes the reduction to trade restrictions by Tanzania on Kenyan products.
