Where Kenya's exports go, for the ten years to 2024. 780 observations covering 64 countries and country groups, arranged in a region tree with subtotals and a grand total.

Read beside the import table in the same chapter, this says something neither says alone: Kenya sells to Africa and buys from Asia. Africa took 40.8 per cent of Kenya's exports in 2015 and 39.2 in 2024, while Asia supplied 62.4 per cent of its imports rising to 66.7.

Uganda is Kenya's largest single market in both years, at 12.3 per cent of exports in each, which is a stability nothing else in this table shares. Pakistan rose from fifth to second, from KSh 35.2 billion to KSh 76.4 billion. The United Kingdom fell from third to fifth, and from 7.9 per cent of exports to 6.5.

Domestic exports grew 85.3 per cent over the decade, from KSh 503.0 billion to KSh 932.2 billion. Asia grew fastest of the four regions, from 23.8 per cent of the total to 26.5.

Two figures in this table do not reconcile and are published as printed. The 2019 Africa total reads KSh 191,321,054 thousand where its own two subtotals sum to KSh 195,198,910 thousand. The corroboration is split rather than pointing one way: both subtotals agree with their own members exactly, and the grand total agrees with the printed Africa figure, so one side was computed from figures the other did not see.

Figures are in thousands of Kenya shillings, and the grand total matches the domestic export figure in Table 6.3 exactly in every year.

SELLS TO AFRICA, BUYS FROM ASIA

Africa takes close to four in every ten shillings of what Kenya sells, and Uganda has been its largest single market in eight of the last ten years.
