The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) will in September 12-13 this year host Farm-Tech Expo Kenya, one of the largest agricultural events in the country.
The two day expo, organized by Spintelligent in partnership with KALRO, will provide farmers, agro-industry players, service providers and other stakeholders in the agriculture sector the opportunity to showcase their innovations and technologies as well as engage in business networking.
The event will also bring together agriculture scientists small and large commercial scale farmers and stakeholders, and service providers from across the entire agriculture value chain. “We believe that the expo will provide an all-round platform to network, market and share knowledge on how to best harness the power of technology in agriculture and ensure the best outcome for farmers’ produce”, says KALRO Director General Eliud Kireger.
