Quality Control in Kenya

 

The Republic of Kenya is a country in Africa. With a population of more than 52.2 million people, Kenya is the 27th most populous country. Kenya’s capital and largest city is Nairobi while its oldest city and first capital is the coastal city of Mombasa.

Kisumu City is the third-largest city and also an inland port on Lake Victoria. Other important urban centers include Nakuru and Eldoret.

The manufacturing sector is identified as one of four main areas of focus by the Kenyan government’s economic agenda. Nairobi is the regional business hub for East Africa. The cotton, textiles, and apparel (CTA) industry is Kenya’s second-largest manufacturing industry after food processing and has been classified as a core industry. 

The clothing and textile industry in Kenya played an important role in the industrialization of today’s developed countries. Kenya’s garment exports amounted to $ 420 million in 2020 even though the Covid-19 pandemic compounded supply-chain problems. 

Similar to Ethiopia, Kenya’s garment sector has gained its reputation in the world market as one of the emerging suppliers for high-volume of bulk basic garment items, such as t-shirts and trousers. Of Kenya’s top ten apparel exports, six are cotton products and four are man-made fiber products. Almost half of Kenya’s apparel exports to the US are in women's and girls’ cotton trousers, slacks, and shorts, and manmade fiber slacks, breeches, shorts, knit shirts, and blouses.
