China's African Factories
Chinese companies are moving to establish factories and production lines in Africa rather than relying solely on exports, seeking to get around tariffs, lower transportation costs and benefit from growing demand. Trade between the two sides exceeded $348 billion in 2025, an increase of 17.7%. The expansion spans vehicle assembly, consumer goods, energy and agriculture. Among the most prominent projects is an $800 million fertilizer plant in Kenya, which aims to produce 480,000 tonnes a year. But companies face mounting competition, rising operating costs and financing difficulties, as well as power outages and stricter requirements to hire local workers.
