The 2013 Import and Export Market for Herbicides, Weed Killers, Antisprouting Products, and Plant-Growth Regulators for Retail Sale in Kenya

On the demand side, exporters and strategic planners focusing on herbicides, weed killers, antisprouting products, and plant-growth regulators for retail sale in Kenya face a number of questions. Which countries are supplying herbicides, weed killers, antisprouting products, and plant-growth regulators for retail sale to Kenya?

I have developed a methodology, based on macroeconomic and trade models, to estimate the market for herbicides, weed killers, antisprouting products, and plant-growth regulators for retail sale for those countries serving Kenya via exports, or supplying from Kenya via imports.
