Theme: “From Promise to Action: Advancing Agribusiness through Dialogue and Innovation”
Date: October 22-23, 2025
Venue: KICC , Nairobi
the National Agribusiness Summit 2025 will be repositioned as a high-level Public-Private Dialogue (PPD) platform, creating space for joint action among government, private sector, development partners, and counties. To better reflect the evolving priorities of Kenya’s agricultural sector and the Summit’s renewed focus on enterprise, innovation, and market-driven transformation, the event name has been changed from the National Agriculture Summit to the National Agribusiness Summit. This shift recognizes that agriculture is no longer just about production; it is a dynamic economic sector encompassing value addition, finance, technology, trade, youth employment, and climate resilience. The new name captures the broader agri-food ecosystem and aligns with Kenya’s vision of agriculture as a business engine for inclusive growth, investment, and sustainability. It also positions the Summit as a forward-looking platform that appeals to both traditional stakeholders and emerging private sector actors, development partners, and investors.
The National Agribusiness Summit 2025 to be held on October 22-23 2025 at KICC builds upon the rich conversations and momentum generated during the National Agriculture Summit 2024, which laid a strong foundation for sector-wide transformation. The 2024 dialogue was marked by key action areas, including: strengthening structured public-private dialogues and partnerships in agriculture; creating an enabling policy and regulatory environment; increasing investment in research and innovation; promoting adaptive and sustainable value chains; enhancing gender and social inclusion; expanding access to finance; revitalizing the agricultural extension function, accelerating digitalization and technology adoption, improving water access for agriculture, and deepening the ASNET–Academia partnership. The 2025 edition aims to take these commitments further by convening stakeholders in a more focused, action-oriented platform that links policy dialogue with investment, innovation, and measurable impact.
The Summit will adopt a focused, solution-oriented format through Executive Roundtables, Policy Commitment Sessions, and an Exhibition; culminating in the prestigious National Agribusiness Excellence Awards to honor outstanding actors in the agriculture sector.
