Complaint
Ethiopian maize quality standards are not accepted in Kenya, requiring additional conformity assessment. This has resulted for an extra costs of approximately 44,000 Kenyan Shillings per consignment, increasing the cost of doing business.  
Progress update note
On 13 May 2026, Kenya Focal Point reported that they had carried out investigation which confirmed that the alleged did not take place in Moyale. Kenya border officials maintain that all consignments including maize, are subject to standard clearance procedures and are subject to regular fees. Kenya therefore requests Ethiopia provide evidence to support the claim.
