Goods that passed through Kenya without being made there, by what they are and where they went, for the ten years to 2024. Ten SITC sections against nine destinations, 1,100 observations.

Re-exports more than doubled over the decade, from KSh 81.3 billion to KSh 180.2 billion, and most of that came in a single year: KSh 101.6 billion in 2023 to KSh 180.2 billion in 2024, a rise of 77 per cent. Nothing else in Kenya's trade accounts moved that fast.

Where they go is concentrated and getting more so. `All Other Countries` took KSh 29.8 billion in 2015 and KSh 98.2 billion in 2024, which is 54 per cent of the total. Among the named destinations, the Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia group is the largest in both years, at KSh 9.6 billion rising to KSh 16.1 billion. Aircraft and ships' stores rose to KSh 18.4 billion in 2024 from almost nothing.

Re-exports are the third leg of Kenya's trade ledger, after domestic exports and imports, and this table's total matches the re-export figure in Table 6.3 exactly in every year.

Figures are in thousands of Kenya shillings.
