Maina said "The situation does not appear to have improved this year. A number of smaller factories are lying idle or operating below 50 per cent of their installed capacity. "Only few factories with strong sales are operating."
She explained that demolition of quotas will benefit Kenyan manufacturers with a 15-22% over other suppliers.
KAM informed that the manufacturers appealed the Government to take actions that would help the country to remain a preferred destination for buyers.
In order to keep buyers to stay with Kenyan suppliers, the industry urges that costs associated with delay in the clearance of goods, verification of imports and finished goods, costs of inland haulage, tariffs charged by KPA and the cost of electricity be sorted out.
