About the Festival
Connecting agriculture, education and trade — a platform where innovation meets opportunity.
A Powerful Platform for the Whole Value Chain
The Africa Rising Festival serves as a powerful platform where innovation meets opportunity. We bring together stakeholders from every part of the agricultural value chain to accelerate growth, knowledge sharing, and business development.
Agricultural Exhibitions
Leading companies showcase farm machinery, irrigation technologies, certified seeds, fertilizers, crop protection products, livestock innovations, renewable energy solutions, and digital agriculture technologies. Visitors experience the latest innovations transforming African agriculture.
Farmer Education & Training
Knowledge remains the foundation of agricultural success. The festival offers expert-led plenary sessions, farmer training workshops, climate-smart agriculture sessions, financial literacy, agribusiness management, youth in agriculture forums, and women empowerment programs.
Market Linkages
One of the festival's greatest strengths is connecting producers with buyers through buyer-seller meetings, export readiness discussions, market access forums, value chain networking, agribusiness partnerships, and investment opportunities.
Live Demonstrations
Visitors experience practical demonstrations including modern farming equipment, irrigation systems, greenhouse technologies, solar-powered farming solutions, post-harvest handling, and value addition technologies.
A Shared Table for the Whole Ecosystem
The festival brings together farmers, exporters, agribusiness companies, government institutions, financial institutions, development organizations, universities, investors, technology companies, and cooperatives.
This collaboration strengthens Kenya's agricultural ecosystem — and interactions that begin at the festival continue long after it ends, creating sustainable commercial relationships.
