NewzThe East African Business Council (EABC) has identified a critical economic shortfall in the region, noting that East Africa loses significant potential revenue by exporting agricultural commodities with minimal processing. Regional agribusiness leaders are advocating for a strategic shift toward value-addition to transform raw produce into higher-value goods.

These measures are intended to bolster the agricultural sector and enhance the economic competitiveness of East African exports in the global market.
