Kenya’s export value grew steadily, rising from $1 billion in 1990 to $7.4 billion in 2022. The 2000s marked significant growth driven by horticulture, tea, and coffee exports, key pillars of the Kenyan economy.
While exports saw minor dips during the global crises of 2008 and 2020, they rebounded robustly due to increased regional trade within the East African Community and the diversification into non-traditional exports like textiles and cut flowers.
