Sudan retaliates on Kwinyan tea farmers

Looks they have cards on top of that rubble.

In 2023, Sudan 🇸🇩 was the 2nd largest importer of Kenya's 🇰🇪 Tea Leaves 🍃 in Africa just behind Egypt 🇪🇬
Kenya exported nearly 16,000 MTs of Tea Leaves to Sudan, with an estimated value of 29,602 MTs
Globally, Sudan 🇸🇩 was the 9th largest importer of the Kenya’s Tea Leaves
Besides Tea, Kenya’s exports to Sudan was estimated as 48.2 Million USD in 2023, of course Tea being the largest
Tobacco also remains a major product that Kenya exports to Sudan, with nearly 3.6 Million USD worth of exports recorded in 2023
In the same year, Kenya's imports from Sudan was valued at 5.4 Million USD
This then means that Kenya's exports to Sudan outweighs and by far what the country imports from Sudan

Kenyans don't go to Sudan for business and tourism because it is a hotbed of violence, but Sudanese are coming to Kenya daily in droves for refuge, business, tourism, escaping violence, etc. If Kenya retaliates, people in Sudan will be utterly upset, and government hate may elevate! Kenya has cards, and Sudan has little leverage!

Kenyan tea traders are counting huge losses following the ban on imports by  Sudanese authorities.

The East African Tea Trade Association (EATTA) described the ban as critical as Sudan is ranked among the top five markets for the Mombasa-based tea auction.

The tea traders said the ban came during the holy month of Ramadhan when consumption of tea was at its highest in Sudan.
Yesterday, tea traders said some 207 containers with 400 bags each destined to Sudan were lying at the port of Mombasa while other teas were in warehouses, in the high seas and at the port in Sudan waiting for clearance.

Sudan is shooting themselves because they benefit from Kenyan tea more than Kenya. It is like a diabetic refusing insulin to survive. A few years ago, Kenya sought different markets in West Africa and expanded to Europe and America because of Sudan's tea's shelf life tussle.

Sudan ,Congo will be Rutos retirement nightmare.

[RV Pundit]

Splitting DRC and Sudan is more important long time for kenya than little Tea business.

Ruto should pursue splitting of Eastern DRC - Swahili speaking - can integrate with Kenya economy than Kinshasa.

And then Darfur - Janjaweed will eventually be kicked out

Burhan back in Khartoum. Ruto's bets are going up in flames all over.

Ruto may need to change tact when it comes to Sudan. He is only lucky his business partner Hemedti in the gold smuggling schemes still retains the gold mining regions around Darfur.

Burhan back in Khartoum. Ruto's bets are going up in flames all over.

Ruto has learnt nothing from the past. The Sudan rebels are back in town holding the second meeting.

Sudan pulled off buying Kenyan tea, and a week later, they suffered significantly and bought more tea that surpasses previoud record. Meanwhile in Kakuma refugee camp, Sudanese and South Sudanese people are so happy to be in Kenya rather than in the hellhole of Sudan. The dream of most Sudanese refugees is freedom and Kenyan papers

Kenya is a great nation. Ruto brought money from the world to help the less fortunate.

Ruto is just bonkers. Sudan and Chad were growth markets from 2023. The pudding-eating will be in soon as farmers wail. The KTDA directors are

[RV Heavy Hitter!]

Kenya has greatly benefited from the war, as the wealthy Sudanese relocated their capital to Nairobi, predominantly Kilimani and Westlands, while the impoverished but capable individuals relocated to Kakuma and contributed to the development of the town. Reports indicate that 2% of Kenyan refugees return after 10-20 years, while a remarkable 98% remain and successfully integrate into society. The Somali refugees that came to Dadaab in the 80s and 90s have built Eastleigh and contributed significantly to Kenya's economy. As always, immigrants, whether refugees or not, like anywhere in the globe, tend to do super well compared to locals. I just hope and pray that one day, Kenyans won't adopt South Africa's xenophobic attitude of hating new arrivals who are more business-savvy, integrity-driven, and focused than locals.
