Overview of Kenya And Latvia Trade Relations

Kenya and Latvia have been steadily developing trade relations, capitalizing on the EU and East Africa trade agreements and Kenya’s export strengths. Latvia’s strategic location in Northern Europe, coupled with its advanced transport infrastructure and access to EU markets, makes it an appealing trade partner for Kenyan exporters.

Kenya exports horticultural products such as cut flowers and fresh vegetables, along with coffee, tea, textiles, garments, leather products, processed food, and natural oils. The Latvian market shows increasing demand for organic, tropical, and fair-trade certified goods. These are the sectors where Kenya excels.

Latvia exports machinery and mechanical appliances, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, timber and construction materials, automobile parts, and consumer electronics to Kenya. Latvian manufacturers also supply intermediate industrial products for Kenya’s construction and healthcare sectors.

Although Kenya and Latvia trade volumes are modest compared to major EU markets, there has been a consistent rise in bilateral engagement, especially in logistics, ICT, and agriculture. With Latvia increasingly becoming a logistics gateway to the Baltics and Scandinavia, Kenyan exporters are now seeing opportunities beyond traditional markets like Germany and France. Wakah Logistics is committed to supporting this evolving partnership with tailored logistics solutions, compliance support, and market insights.

Services Offered by Wakah Logistics for Kenya and Latvia Route

Air freight is ideal for high-value, urgent, or perishable goods. At Wakah Logistics, we offer reliable airport-to-airport and door-to-door air cargo solutions between Nairobi and Riga, as well as other international airports in both countries. We partner with major airlines operating out of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and Riga International Airport (RIX) to ensure timely deliveries, secure cargo handling, and cold chain logistics for perishables like flowers, fruits, and vaccines. Our services also include real-time tracking, priority clearance, cargo insurance options, and express and standard options.

Sea freight is a cost-effective option for bulk cargo. We provide both FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) services from the Port of Mombasa to major European ports, including transshipment to Latvia via Hamburg or Rotterdam. Our sea freight services include affordable rates for heavy and large-volume cargo, safe containerized packaging, and efficient inland transport from Baltic ports to Latvia.

Navigating customs procedures in both Kenya and Latvia can be complex.

Wakah Logistics simplifies this process by offering complete customs clearance support, including preparation of export and import documents, HS code classification, tax calculation, and coordination with customs authorities. We work proactively to minimize delays and ensure compliance with EU and Kenyan regulations.

For exporters with small cargo volumes, our freight consolidation service allows you to share container space with others, reducing overall costs. This is ideal for SMEs, monthly shipments, or reducing warehousing needs. Our consolidation hubs in Nairobi and Mombasa make the process efficient and secure.

Wakah Logistics provides end-to-end delivery from Kenya to Latvia. Our door-to-door services include cargo pickup from your business or farm in Kenya, export clearance, international shipping, and final delivery in cities such as Riga, Daugavpils, and Liepāja.

After customs clearance in Latvia, the cargo is delivered to its final destination.

Importing from Latvia to Kenya

Latvian manufacturers export a wide variety of products to Kenya, including industrial machinery, processed wood, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, health products, automotive parts, electronics, and renewable energy equipment.

Wakah Logistics manages import declarations, tax and duty calculations, and regulatory approvals.

Cost Factors and How to Get a Quote

Shipping costs are influenced by weight, volume, delivery urgency, shipping mode, and the specific destination. Air freight is faster but more expensive than sea freight, while remote delivery locations may incur additional charges.
