Bedia, BOBS make businesses more export ready

Speaking at the signing of the MoU last week, BEDIA's acting CEO, Lameck Nthekela, said the agreement would promote mutual understanding for expansion of trade and investment and other forms of economic co-operation between the two entities.

Their clients would access the international market without having to face tariffs related to standardisation, Nthekela noted. "We had a problem of our investors being charged at the border and they were often limited by tariffs related to standardisation," he said. "By this MoU, our clients will have easy access to international markets without being limited by international standards requirements."
