Dutch businesses in Kenya have urged the government to address barriers to trade. Among the issues they cited were delayed value-added tax refunds, high and unpredictable taxation, excessive import duties on electric vehicle spares, and bribery.
These concerns were raised during a CEOs’ roundtable meeting at a Nairobi hotel on Tuesday, attended by Netherlands King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima. Among the business leaders present was Kimoi Moi, Director of Investments at Agrico/Potato Services Africa, a leading player in the potato value chain.
