- Kenya's fresh vegetable exports to Europe dropped by almost half in 2024 due to stricter chemical residue checks, leading to a significant decline in earnings from Ksh50.9 billion to Ksh23.4 billion.
- The decrease was mainly caused by exceeding Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) in vegetables like beans and peas, prompting Kenya to explore alternative markets like India for its agricultural products.
