For the next four years, Kenya’s government will focus on boosting production through value chains, with leather and leather products among priority sectors.

President William Ruto spoke in Nairobi, during the launch of the Fourth Medium Term Plan 2023-2027.

He said will be given to the promotion of agro-processing, strengthening of extension services and affordable farm inputs, reported local press.

"We will also focus on cooperative development and management, market access and logistics support, adoption of climate-smart agriculture, enhanced agricultural financing, and agricultural mechanisation research and development," he said.

Last summer, Mr Ruto pledged to ban imports on leathergoods within two years.
