Transport and farming sectors offering vast opportunities

With under-developed infrastructure a real impediment to growth, transport features strongly in the government's Vision 2030 plan. As well as under-serving Kenyan farmers and other businesses needing to transport goods around the country, the lack of effective road, sea and rail links significantly hampers Kenya's trading potential with its African neighbors and the rest of the world, including China.

Having pledged that "by 2030, it will become impossible to refer to any region of our country as remote", the government is now driving a far-reaching transport plan, covering roads, railways, ports, and airports. China has played a pivotal role in funding infrastructure projects in Kenya, and in Africa as a whole.
