Ofisi mpya ya KNCCI Dubai kuboresha biashara ya maparachichi

Chama cha Kitaifa cha Biashara na Viwanda Kenya (KNCCI) kimefungua ofisi mpya ya uwakilishi Dubai ili kuimarisha biashara na nchi za Mashariki ya Kati, hasa kwa bidhaa za kilimo kama maparachichi. Hatua hii inatarajiwa kupunguza utapeli na kuchelewa kwa malipo vinavyosababisha hasara kubwa kwa wafanyabiashara wa Kenya.

Ufunguzi wa ofisi mpya ya uwakilishi ya KNCCI Jijini Dubai ulifanyika wiki iliyopita, na hafla rasmi ikaandaliwa Nairobi. Ofisi hiyo inatarajiwa kuimarisha uhusiano wa kibiashara kati ya Kenya na nchi za Uarabuni za Mashariki ya Kati, ikilenga bidhaa za kilimo na mifugo. Hasa, wauzaji wa maparachichi (avokado) watapata faida kubwa kutokana na hii.

KNCCI inakadiria kuwa makontena 156 ya mizigo hupotea kila mwaka katika UAE, na sekta ya mifugo inakosa malipo ya asilimia 25 hadi 30 ya bidhaa zinazouzwa UAE na Saudi Arabia. Hii inasababisha hasara ya Sh6 bilioni kwa mwaka. "Sekta ya Mifugo, bidhaa kati ya asilimia 25 hadi 30 zinazouzwa UAE na Saudi Arabia zimekosa kulipwa. Tukifanya mahesabu, ni hasara ya Sh6 bilioni inayokadiriwa kila mwaka," anasema Rais wa KNCCI, Dkt Erick Rutto.

Ofisi hiyo itatoa msaada wa karibu katika kutatua migogoro, upatikanaji wa taarifa za masoko, na urahisishaji wa biashara. Dubai inachukuliwa kama lango muhimu kwa Mashariki ya Kati na Asia. Muungano wa Washirika wa Avokado Kenya umekaribisha hatua hii. "Kwa miaka mingi, wauzaji wa nje ya nchi wamekuwa wakipata hasara kubwa kutokana na kucheleweshwa kwa malipo na migogoro isiyotatuliwa... Uzinduzi wa ofisi ya uwakilishi ya KNCCI utaletea sekta ya parachichi afueni," alisema Afisa Mkuu Mtendaji Ernest Muthomi.

Kenya ni miongoni mwa wauzaji wakubwa wa avokado Afrika, na UAE ni soko kubwa. Muungano huo una wanachama zaidi ya 160 wanaouza UAE, na ushindani umeongezeka.
