NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 29 – Nairobi will next month host more than 200 exhibitors from over 60 countries for the 10th International Trade Expo AgroFood-Plastpack-Paper 2026.

“The exhibition brings together key stakeholders across the agricultural value chain to showcase emerging technologies, facilitate business partnerships and promote investment opportunities.”
“It creates an environment where manufacturers, investors and innovators can connect and unlock new markets across the region.”
The exhibition will feature dedicated sections on agriculture, livestock, poultry, irrigation, greenhouse technology, food processing, cold-chain logistics, plastics manufacturing, printing technology and sustainable packaging.
It will also see an Innovation Pavilion showcasing artificial intelligence-powered farm management tools, agricultural drones, smart irrigation systems and biodegradable packaging solutions.

“Our participation underscores the critical role veterinary professionals play in transforming agriculture and safeguarding public health.”
“Healthy livestock are central to food security, sustainable trade, productivity and economic growth.”
Organizers expect the expo to create new opportunities for Kenyan businesses to engage international manufacturers, investors and technology providers while supporting climate-smart agriculture, sustainable manufacturing and the country’s green industrialisation agenda.
