Look at this product. Kenya v China. How strong are Kenya's antidumping laws?

First things first. Is 800 below the cost of production, or is 2100 highly exaggerated? I think Kenya is just inefficient, that's why even eggs are cheaper in Uganda than here. Am not sure Uganda can afford to dump.

The Ugandan eggs sio inefficiency on Kenyans. Its high taxes. You cannot use the term dumping for Uganda case because it doesnt meet the definition below.

Dumping is a term used in the context of international trade. It's when a country or company exports a product at a price that is lower in the foreign importing market than the price in the exporter's domestic market.
 
Stop with the irrelevant questions and prove to us that the cost price of the China PPE is cheaper than the selling price or hold your peace.

It becomes irrelevant questions when I also challenge you to bring evidence? I note you like ducking providing evidence. Juzi you said 99.9% of language..... and said you'l be back with evidence in a minute..well you never did.
 
Dumping" is defined as the act of a manufacturer in one country exporting a product to another country at a price that is either below the price it charges in its home market or is below its cost of production.

So @Okiya what is the cost of production of PPEs in China? And how much are they sold in China? Or in any other country for that matter?

How much is the production cost of the same in Kitui County or any other factory in Kenya?

Simply put the way of doing business in Kenya is growth centred and not people centred.
We call them rogue investments in plain language. This is where an investor starts manufacturing a product X to substitute an import, he then goes on to lobby for tariff protection by giving inducements to the relevant people. The protection is set so high that he can comfortably reap huge margins. Come to think of it, the best performing industries in the country are the most heavily protected. Think of steel, cooking oil, beverages etc. What this means is that the huge profits these firms register are actually derived from public subsidies, i.e. the extra cost people pay.
 
That is factually false. Skilled labour in China is cheaper than in Kenya.

My brother you are wrong again. Animal feed manufacturers import raw materials from Uganda and it is still cheaper than Kenya transport included. Is it taxes?

Yes it is taxes. Same way fuel comes to Mombasa and is transported all the way to Kampala but the price is cheaper in Kampala than that in Mombasa.
 
okiya hapa unakuwa mslippery, you come up with an arguement, you are told to prove, you quickly shift that burden to the challenger

Here is one of the evidence that dumping PPE is happening. Medline has its factory in China also.

Is Michael Stuno another pundit like yourself?
On another thread on this forum we have two tweets with diametrically different "facts" about the same scalding incident. Tells you the reliability of tweets as evidence.

Jesus Christ! Fuel is more expensive in Kampala than Nairobi! Who is feeding you false information?
