Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Farmers and entrepreneurs in agricultural and manufacturing sectors are set to benefit from the forthcoming trade expo covering agriculture segments in a bid to boost standards towards growth.<\/p>\n

Dubbed \u2018AgroFoodpack Exhibition\u2019, the expo will cover segments on agro, dairy and poultry, grains and storage, food and flavors, biscuits, cakes, packaging and processing machines and plastics.<\/p>\n

It seeks to create a pathway for technology innovators, producers, suppliers and buyers to exploit up-and-coming opportunities in one of the world\u2019s most attractive business spots.<\/p>\n

Slated for October 27th to 29th in Nairobi, the expo is also expected to showcase transformations in the agriculture sector making it less dependent on manual processes, a change hoped to boost export volumes.<\/p>\n

Kenya National Chambers of Commerce and Industry-Kajiado chapter CEO Japheth Ogutu while commenting on the forum, said most of our farmers realise losses because they don\u2019t have ready market.<\/p>\n

He said the exhibition will help create new markets for Kenya\u2019s products beyond the UAE.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also urging the international exhibitors to take advantage of the industrial parks that are being built by the government, and set up their production plants locally,\u201d Ogutu said.<\/p>\n

This he noted, pointing out Kenya among the fast-growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a huge industrial boom in several sectors, especially within agriculture and manufacturing.<\/p>\n

He further noted that the expo is an ideal platform for the chambers\u2019 members to showcase the opportunities available for investors and exhibitors.<\/p>\n

On his part, MXM expo organizer Mudasir Mohammed said food security is a major concern across the world, and production has been heavily affected by climate change that continues to have a negative impact on the harvest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe this forum will play a big role in trying to mitigate such effects, while leveraging on our goal to provide a platform for technology transfer, boosting inter-trade and enhancing the gateway opening between Kenya and other 20 countries from Europe and Asian nations,\u201d Mohammed said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to ensure that there is value addition for the local farmers and the best way to achieve that is by collaborating with well-developed nations like the UAE that practice modern agriculture to increase food production.\u201d<\/p>\n

He further urged Kenyan exhibitors to ensure they create long-lasting partnerships with foreign counterparts through signing of MOUs that benefit both players.<\/p>\n

An estimated 1,500 exhibitors from over six countries: Algeria, China, Egypt, Kenya, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, and UAE will participate in the event.<\/p>\n
