Kenyan Exports to Russia
Kenya exports a range of products to Russia. Tea and specialty coffee are popular in Russia’s expanding café culture. Fresh roses and flowers, particularly in high demand during holidays like International Women’s Day, are regularly shipped via air freight. Avocados, mangoes, and other tropical produce are increasingly available in Russian grocery markets. Other exports include livestock products such as hides and processed meats, as long as they meet Russian veterinary standards.
Russian Exports to Kenya
Russia supplies Kenya with critical industrial and manufactured goods. Fertilizers and agricultural chemicals are some of the most common imports, supporting Kenya’s large-scale farming. Oil derivatives and lubricants are essential to the country’s transport and manufacturing industries. Russia also exports machinery, vehicle parts, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies to Kenya. Additionally, iron and steel products are widely used in construction and infrastructure development.
Emerging Trade Areas
The trade landscape is expanding beyond traditional goods. E-commerce, educational products, software, and cybersecurity services from Russia are finding markets in Kenya. With both governments promoting deeper trade engagement, businesses that enter now have an opportunity to tap into underexplored sectors.
Exporting from Kenya to Russia with Wakah Logistics
Wakah Logistics simplifies the export process for Kenyan businesses. The journey begins with cargo collection, available from Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, and even rural production zones like Murang’a or Meru. Wakah provides export-grade packaging, temperature-controlled solutions for perishables, and labeling that complies with Russian regulations. Documentation includes commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, export permits, and phytosanitary certificates.
Customs clearance is handled through close coordination with KEBS and KRA. Wakah manages inspections, HS code classifications, and any required duties. For freight, clients can choose between air freight—ideal for perishables and urgent cargo—or sea freight, which is cost-effective for bulk or heavy shipments. Shipments transit through Turkey, UAE, or European ports before reaching Russia.
In Russia, Wakah works with reliable local agents to offer final customs clearance and delivery in cities like Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Kazan, and Novosibirsk. Bonded warehousing is also available for importers needing temporary storage.
