No-deal Brexit vote boon for Kenyan exportersBritain's Prime Minister Theresa May speaks to lawmakers in parliament, London, Tuesday March 12, 2019. Exporters dealing in fish, horticulture, leather, tea and coffee are among the biggest winners if MPs vote to exit without a deal. However, the UK has maintained duty on several food products, including beef, poultry meat, pork and selected milk products in a bid to protect local farmers. The debate is still ongoing on whether the country will leave the EU without a deal, go for a second referendum or extend negotiations. The UK is Kenya’s second largest export market in the EU, with exports to the country in 2017 standing at Sh38.5 billion.
