The construction of the Sh3.25 billion Busia County Export Processing Zone (EPZ) project at Nasewa is at an advanced stage and will be completed by the end of October this year.
The government is pushing for the extension of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) beyond 2025 to increase access to the US market for the products processed at EPZ.
The first Sh1.3 billion phase of the lucrative initiative targets EPZ Athi River in Machakos, Nairobi's Sameer Park and Majorel Kenya Solution in Mombasa.
This follows a recent announcement by Mombasa Apparel Epz Limited and Ashton Apparel Epz Limited that they are closing shop.
EPZA assured employees that the entities would undergo a change of ownership rather than closure.
