Kenya wants to export more cows and cow products to other countries. It used to send them to places like the UAE and the Middle East, but now it wants to send them to countries in Africa, like Libya and Nigeria.

Nicholas Ngahu is in charge of a group that helps send cows and cow products to other countries. He says the new places will pay more money for the cows and cow products.

Last year, Kenya sent 500 tons of cow meat, 7,000 tons of sheep meat, 20,000 tons of goat meat, and 30,000 live animals to other countries. The animals went to Oman, Egypt, and Mauritius. The meat went to the UAE, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, DRC Congo, and Seychelles.

Christopher Wanga says a group called African Pastoral Markets Development can help Kenya send more to other African countries. He says this is important because Africa has more and more people. And a new agreement makes it easier for African countries to trade with each other.

Kenya wants to send to other African countries both live animals and things made from animals, including meat and milk products.

Wanga works for the government. He says Kenya usually sends cows to Asia, the UAE, and Oman, but the country wants to send cows to new places, too.

He says cows are important for Kenya. The country wants to improve its milk and meat businesses and do more with animal skin.

Ngahu says trade between African countries is important. Kenya plays a big part in the cow business. So, it wants to find new places in Africa to send its cows and cow products.
