CONTACT US Welcome to the Export Processing Zones Authority Industrial Building Athi River EPZ Kenya inaugurated her Export Processing Zones program in 1990 as part of the Export Development Program (EDP) being undertaken by the Government to transform the economy from import subsitution to a path of export led growth. EPZs are designed to further integrate Kenya into the global supply chain and attract export-oriented investments in the zones, thus achieving its economic objectives of job creation, diversification and expansion of exports, increase in productive investments, technology transfer and creation of backward linkages between the zones and the domestic economy. The program has contributed significantly to achieving these objectives with over 40 zones in place, close to 40,000 workers employed and contribution of 10.7 % of national exports. Over 70% of EPZ output is exported to the USA under AGOA. | |
