Business Council wants a list of commonly traded goods between Burundi and Tanzania to be compiled

The East African Business Council (EABC) is calling for the publication of a list of commonly traded goods between Burundi and Tanzania under the EAC Simplified Trade Regime. The EABC, in partnership with TNCC and AGRA, sensitized over 65 women and youth cross-border traders on trade procedures. Trade advisor Adrian Raphael Njau urged the governments to establish a dedicated trade information desk at the Kobero–Kabanga border post. Traders also appealed for easier access to the EAC Certificate of Origin without using clearing agents.
