Le ministre Kagwe assure que la nouvelle taxe sur le thé n'affectera pas les revenus des agriculteurs

Le ministre de l'Agriculture Mutahi Kagwe a assuré aux producteurs de thé que la nouvelle taxe à l'exportation de 0,8 % ne réduirait pas leurs revenus.

Le ministre Kagwe a déclaré que la taxe introduite par le Tea Board of Kenya sera payée uniquement par les exportateurs. Il a ajouté que 50 % des recettes collectées seront utilisées pour protéger et améliorer les revenus des agriculteurs. La taxe de 0,8 % s'applique au thé vendu aux enchères ou par le biais d'exportations directes. Les importateurs étrangers paieront 100 % de la valeur du thé transformé afin de protéger les agriculteurs locaux. Les coopératives de petits exploitants et les consommateurs locaux ne seront pas touchés par cette taxe. Elle devrait rapporter 1,42 milliard de shillings par an grâce aux exportations et aux importations.
