Ministro Kagwe garante que novo imposto sobre o chá não afetará a renda dos produtores

O ministro da Agricultura, Mutahi Kagwe, garantiu aos produtores de chá que o novo imposto de exportação de 0,8 por cento não reduzirá seus ganhos.

O ministro Kagwe afirmou que o imposto introduzido pelo Conselho de Chá do Quênia será pago apenas pelos exportadores. Ele acrescentou que 50 por cento da receita arrecadada será utilizada para proteger e melhorar os ganhos dos produtores. A taxa de 0,8 por cento aplica-se ao chá vendido por meio de leilões ou exportações diretas. Importadores estrangeiros pagarão 100 por cento do valor do chá processado para salvaguardar os produtores locais. Cooperativas de pequenos produtores e consumidores locais não serão afetados pelo imposto. Espera-se arrecadar 1,42 bilhão de xelins anualmente com exportações e importações.
