The Nairobi Trade Fair Agricultural Society of Kenya show entered its second day with low turn out from members of the public.
President William Ruto is expected to officially open the show on Wednesday as he takes over as the ASK patron from his predecessor former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
About 350 international and local exhibitors are showcasing their latest products, services and innovations in agriculture, trade and allied sectors, offering opportunities for sales and learning and information exchange.
The trade fair comes after a two-year break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The technologies in exhibition are in line with the theme of ‘Promoting Innovation and Technology in Agriculture and Trade.’
Joseph Mugo, Nairobi brach ASK chairman, said the event has attracted exhibitors from China, Tanzania, Botswana, India, Iran and Pakistan.
“The exhibitors are drawn from multi-disciplinary sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, housing, small and medium enterprises, banking, public and private sector, hospitality, training and technology,” Mugo said.
“There will also be a host of agricultural demonstration plots, farm machinery and livestock displays.”
Modern agriculture technologies are some of the big attractions at the show. One of the innovation that has pulled the crowd is the ‘walking’ tractor.
