2 Unlocking business opportunities in the East African agribusiness industry Agra Innovate East Africa is fully supported by the Kenyan Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries and is being staged at KALRO headquarters: the hub for all national agricultural science, technology and policy development. Agriculture is the mainstay of East African economies and essential to their future growth. The sector currently represents around one third of the region's GDP, employs around three quarters of its combined population of over 150 million and possesses clear potential for significant growth in cash crops, livestock and fisheries. Recent years have seen a more vigorous and coordinated focus on improving agricultural productivity across the region, including increased investment in agricultural research and extension, better access to farmable land and improvements to input supplies, irrigation systems and infrastructure. However, there is a significant demand to improve sustainability through modernization and implementation of new technology. Following on from last year's highly successful edition in Nigeria, Agra Innovate East Africa is your only trade platform to meet serious buyers, explore business opportunities in the region, and network with key East African dignitaries, policymakers, agricultural business leaders and entrepreneurs. Agra Innovate East Africa will also feature a ground-breaking conference set to focus on market opportunities, technological advancements, case-studies and policy frameworks. We have come to see the enormous potential of commercialized agriculture. My Government is therefore keen to promote competitive, commercially oriented agriculture, with the most modern and efficient technology we can find. H.E. Hon Uhuru Kenyatta President Republic of Kenya From l-r: Alhaji Sani Dangote, Group VP, Dangote Group; Chief Mekoh Nnamdi Augustine, Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Anambra State and Honourable Minister of Agriculture Dr. Akinwumi Adesina open "Agra Innovate Nigeria 2014" BOOK YOUR STAND AT AGRA INNOVATE EAST AFRICA 2015 TODAY! aieastafrica@informa.com
