ASNET to Host Shamba Expo 2026 in Tharaka Nithi County

The Agriculture Sector Network (ASNET), in partnership with the County Government of Tharaka Nithi, is set to host the ASNET Shamba Expo 2026 – Tharaka Nithi Edition on May 28, 2026, at Kajiunduthi Stadium in Chuka.
Held under the theme “From Shamba to Market through Innovation”, the expo will bring together over 2,000 farmers, agribusinesses, financial institutions, development partners, and government stakeholders. The event is designed to create a dynamic platform where farmers meet innovations and solutions, enabling direct engagement between solution providers and end users.
The expo will showcase a wide range of agricultural innovations and services across key value chains including dairy, coffee, avocado, tea, cereals (maize, beans, green grams, and sorghum), horticulture, poultry, livestock, bananas, and macadamia. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to demonstrate products and technologies, share knowledge, and build market linkages with farmers and other stakeholders.
Speaking ahead of the event, ASNET CEO Agatha Thuo noted that the Shamba Expo is part of its broader strategy to strengthen linkages within the agricultural ecosystem and support farmers in accessing practical solutions that enhance productivity, resilience, and market access.
“The ASNET Shamba Expo provides a unique opportunity to bridge the gap between innovation and the farmer. By bringing services closer to the grassroots, we are enabling farmers to make informed decisions and improve their livelihoods,” the CEO stated.
The expo is expected to attract participation from a diverse range of stakeholders, including agricultural input providers, agri-tech companies, financial institutions, cooperatives, and farmer organizations.
ASNET has called upon interested organizations to register as exhibitors and partners, noting that the event offers a strategic opportunity to showcase products and services, engage directly with farmers, and expand market reach within Tharaka Nithi and neighboring counties.
With strong collaboration between the public and private sectors, the ASNET Shamba Expo 2026 is poised to be a key milestone in advancing agricultural transformation at the county level.
