KQ goes to Djibouti without any horticulture yet Djibouti buys its food
supplies from France. Sometimes a re-shipment of Kenya's horticulture
into Djibouti. We send flowers to Nethwerlands then they are re-shipped
into Africa. We export coffee beens into UK then we inport Nescaffe.

of trading. My point on bonds was on raising capital reserves to shore up such
trading, within Africa, eliminating the need for donor funding. Just as a

1 KG of Kenyan coffee is roughly 2900 KES. We will happily re-import the
Starbucks/Nescafe/Nespresso etc and ignore Dormans on our supermarket shelves.
