Why are we being nice? The tea packers should pack their tea here in small packages, blend here and write a big made in kenya; and pay the taxes here; There is no processing they are going to add in their country. It's like Toyota allowing us to import their cars - and stick a made in kenya badge.
Have you looked at cost of production in Kenya? I mean from regulation compliance, taxes to logistics etc. This are the factors to consider for multinationals. Banning export without addressing the obstacles is really shortsighted. The price would immediately collapse without buyers. BTW, farmers need to create their own brand e.g ocean spray or sunkist , otherwise even if private corporations setup in kenya and create a global brand, farmers wouldn't benefit.
