ORGANIC BUSINESS WORKSHOP: EXPLORING PARTNERSHIPS FOR NEW ORGANIC BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
February 24, 2022
The Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN) together with its partners invites you to the third Organic Industry Business Event on Thursday, 24th March (9.00am) at The Sportsview Hotel Kasarani
(behind ICIPE Complex). As you may know, the Organic industry is the fastest growing subsector in agriculture globally, trading billions of dollars’ worth of products annually. This global trend is gaining pace in Kenya with people seeking healthy food amidst the Covid19 pandemic and food safety lapses in local food supply. A growing middleclass is fast becoming selective with food and export markets are becoming
increasingly critical on sustainability, carbon emissions and pesticide residues.
The Kenya Organic Agriculture Network has been an industry leader making meaningful business linkages within the organic space. KOAN has assisted notable companies with strategic and much needed advisory
and farmer linkage services that have led to millions of dollars’ worth of trade both locally and for export to date. In a bid to rapidly expand the organic space, KOAN has partnered up with the Kenya Agriculture
and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), the Research Institute for Organic Agriculture (FiBL), Africrops Limited, the Organic Agriculture Centre of Kenya (OACK) among other organizations to foster
organic market development by focusing on both the domestic and export market.
The Organic Business Workshop is an invite only event to present identified and explored organic business opportunities for the local and export market, focusing on organic products originating from Murang’a
County. There will be opportunity to discuss and integrate new partners into the identified pathways within three main Strategic Business Groups; I. Organic Vegetables and Fruits for Local Market, II. Organic
Herbs and Spices and lastly III. Organic Fruits for Export.
We are looking forward to your engagement and participation in the workshop, as it is the next phase of exploring joint organic business opportunities identified. Meanwhile, please take the time to register on the
