@DTSK21 joined other stakeholders at the launch of the Kuana Innovation Lab Program. This both an innovative and inclusive space that will create opportunities for women and youth ensuring that persons with disabilities are not left behind.
Kenya’s textile and apparel sector recorded exports of US $500 million in 2025 supporting 66,000 direct jobs and contributing 2 per cent to the country’s GDP.
The government is targeting to raise textile and apparel exports to US $2 billion by 2035 and create approximately 200,000 direct jobs. This will be achieved by increasing cotton production from the current 28,000 bales to the required 140,000 bales per year.
Speaking when she officially launched the KUANA Fashion Innovation Lab last evening in Nairobi, Principal Secretary for Trade Regina Ombam said Kenya has about 350,000 acres available for cotton expansion, giving the country room to increase production, raise farmers’ incomes, and supply local industries with raw materials.
The lab, an initiative by KikoRomeo, brings together designers, artisans, students, manufacturers and investors to grow Kenya’s fashion industry.
PS Ombam said the lab will help designers strengthen their business skills, understand markets and build brands that can grow beyond small bespoke production.View quoted post on X
