This vibrant exhibition brings together stakeholders from across the agricultural value chain to celebrate creativity, sustainability, and business growth within Kenya’s agribusiness sector.

Celebrating Innovation in Value-Added Agriculture and Food Products

The core of the Sokoni Agri-Business Expo lies in its dynamic exhibition of value-added farm products and food innovations. Exhibitors from diverse backgrounds present a wide array of offerings including:

A Dual-Zone Approach: Exhibition and B2B Networking

The Sokoni Agri-Business Expo is thoughtfully designed with two primary zones to maximize impact and engagement:

Exhibition Zone – Here, visitors and buyers explore a rich variety of products, from fresh farm items to value-added goods ready for retail shelves. The exhibition encourages discovery, tasting, and direct shopping experiences that connect consumers with producers.

B2B Networking Zone – This area facilitates meaningful business meetings and lead generation opportunities, enabling exhibitors to pitch their products directly to major buyers, including supermarket representatives and distributors.

This dual approach fosters not only brand visibility but also solid business growth and market expansion.

Build relationships with large-scale buyers and retailers

Gain access to supermarket shelf space and distribution networks

Explore partnerships with financial institutions and cooperatives

Exchange ideas and knowledge with peers and industry leaders

These opportunities enable participating businesses to scale up, innovate, and respond effectively to market demands.

Farmers and cooperatives showcasing their products

Food processors offering both traditional and modern value-added goods

Suppliers of packaging and agricultural technologies

Representatives from banks and financing organizations supporting agribusiness

Consumers eager to discover, taste, and purchase quality products tailored for contemporary lifestyles

As it moves into its second successful edition, the Sokoni Agri-Business Expo stands as a beacon of innovation and opportunity in Kenya’s agribusiness landscape. By bridging the gap between producers, buyers, and service providers, the Expo plays a vital role in driving sustainable growth and transforming agricultural value chains.

IFTEX Expo Kenya

IFTEX Expo Kenya, küresel çiçek endüstrisinden profesyonelleri bir araya getiren ve onlara ürün ve hizmetleri uluslararası alıcılara sergilemek için eşsiz bir fırsat sunan iki yılda bir önemli bir etkinliktir. Nairobi'de düzenlenen etkinlik, Kenya'nın dünya sahnesinde önemli bir oyuncu haline gelen hızla büyüyen çiçekçilik endüstrisine dikkat çekiyor. Fuar, bilgi alışverişi, iş ilişkilerini geliştirmek ve çiçekçilik sektöründeki en son trendleri, yenilikleri ve fırsatları keşfetmek için çok önemli bir platform görevi görüyor.

IFTEX'in temel özelliklerinden biri, çiçek endüstrisinde büyüme ve yeniliği teşvik etmek için yakın işbirliği yapan iki ülke olan Kenya ve Hollanda arasındaki güçlü ortaklıktır. Hollanda uzmanlığı, Kenya'ya küresel pazarlara, en son teknolojilere ve sürdürülebilir tarım uygulamalarına erişim sağlayarak sektörün ilerlemesinde etkili olmuştur. Bu işbirliği, Kenya çiçekçiliğinin gelişmesini sağlayarak yerel çiftçilerin yüksek kalite ve sürdürülebilirlik standartlarını korurken uluslararası alıcıların taleplerini karşılamasına izin verdi.

Kenya'nın elverişli iklimi ve hükümet desteği gibi doğal avantajları, çiçekçilik endüstrisinin büyümesinde çok önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Bununla birlikte, sektör, özellikle üretim döngülerini bozmakla ve mahsul verimini etkilemekle tehdit eden iklim değişikliğinin etkilerinden kaynaklanan devam eden zorluklarla karşı karşıyadır. Bu zorluklara rağmen, Kenya ve Hollanda arasındaki ortaklık, Hollanda'nın teknoloji ve sürdürülebilirlik alanındaki yenilikleri, değişen çevre koşullarının getirdiği bazı riskleri azaltmaya yardımcı olarak değerli çözümler sunmaya devam ediyor.

IFTEX Expo Kenya sadece bu uluslararası ortaklıkların önemini vurgulamakla kalmaz, aynı zamanda endüstri profesyonellerine çiçekçiliğin geleceğini tartışmaları, yeni pazar trendlerini keşfetmeleri ve sektörün karşılaştığı zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için fikirleri paylaşmaları için bir alan sağlar. Çiçeklere olan küresel talep artmaya devam ederken, etkinlik çiçekçilik endüstrisinin geleceğini şekillendirmede çok önemli bir rol oynuyor ve Kenya'nın uluslararası çiçek ticaretinde kilit bir oyuncu olmaya devam etmesini sağlıyor. İşbirliği, yenilik ve sürdürülebilirliğe bağlılık yoluyla, Kenya'daki çiçekçilik sektörü küresel sahnede sürekli başarıya hazırdır
