Romania’s Government aims to stimulate the country’s exports to Africa and has signed, together with other EU countries, an economic partnership agreement with the East African Community (EAC) states.

Romania anticipates that the agreement will help it export Dacia Logan cars, communication equipment, mineral water to Burindi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda, reports local Profit.ro. The Government also hopes that the partnership will help increase Romania’s exports of construction materials, fertilizers, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products to these countries.

Romania’s trade with EAC countries totaled EUR 32 million in 2015, consisting in EUR 11.6 million exports and EUR 20.4 million imports.
