Technical Tour 3 offers delegates a unique opportunity to explore every link of Kenya’s potato value chain while experiencing one of Africa’s most iconic landscapes.
You’ll have the opportunity to visit leading potato processors, seed and propagation facilities, sustainable agriculture initiatives, and innovative production systems. All Tour 3 options also include the visit to the field demonstrations at the “Farmers Field Day,” where more than 1,000 farmers and international potato industry stakeholders gather to showcase the latest technologies, climate-smart agriculture practices, and innovations shaping the future of potato production.
After a day of technical learning and networking, unwind with an overnight stay in Nakuru before enjoying a memorable game drive through Lake Nakuru National Park, home to rhinos, lions, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, and an incredible diversity of wildlife.
Spaces are limited so be sure to reserve your preferred option when registering for the Congress.
