Trade partner concentration — by country, all commodities, current

How concentrated Kenya's trade is across its top partner countries, computed from currently-tracked trade flows (not the historical 1997–2015 World Bank dataset). Measures country-to-country concentration only — Kenya's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Top trading partners — Kenya (KNBS) Bilateral Trade by Country
Kenya's own official trading-partner ranking, Jan 2025. Published directly by Kenya's own national statistics office or customs authority -- a different measurement from the computed concentration figures above, and not the frozen World Bank Exporter Dynamics vintage below. Currency is each source's own reported unit, not converted here (no FX-rate table exists on this site).

Historical Exporter Dynamics
Historical dataset — World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database, 1997–2014, frozen. The World Bank has not published a newer edition; this never updates. Kenya also has a single-year firm entry/exit snapshot on /labor-market.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Kenya's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories. See /exporter-dynamics to compare Kenya against all 68 covered countries.

The 2014 mean is 51x the median — a small number of large exporting firms account for most of the export value; the typical firm exports far less than the average figure suggests.

Entrant survival curve — 2013 cohort of new exporting firms: 33.1% still exporting after 1 year — later years not yet available for this cohort (the World Bank vintage ends before enough time passed to observe them).
