Russian products will be in demand in the Kenyan market, in particular, wine, chocolate and ice cream, Beatrice Elachi, the member of the National Assembly of Kenya and the chairperson of the parliamentary group of friendship with Russia, told Russian media, following a meeting with Russian businessmen.
Elachi stated that Russian businesses could start with small-scale exports to Nairobi and gradually expand their scale.
The deputy also noted that high-quality Russian vodka would be a welcome alternative to the currently available low-quality, often harmful, vodka in Kenya.
A recent Russian business mission to Kenya explored plans for a Nairobi trading house, according to Vladimir Vishnevsky, head of the commission for developing relations with Africa at Novaya Formatsiya LLC, one of the largest all-Russian social organizations of entrepreneurs.
