The second edition of the AKEFEMA Feed and Exhibition Conference – Nairobi 2026 (AFEC-Nairobi 2026) will take place on 15 –16 July 2026 at the Safari Park Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya.

AFEC-Nairobi 2026 is convened at a critical time for the animal feed industry in the Horn of Africa, a region that holds the continent’s largest livestock population, including over 118 million cattle, 100 million goats, 104 million sheep, 14 million camels, and 150 million poultry. Despite this vast resource base, productivity remains constrained by persistent feed deficits, suboptimal feed quality, and limited access to modern nutritional and milling technologies.

In Kenya alone, the feed value chain represents an investment opportunity valued at KES 465.4 billion (USD 3.03 billion), with the potential to generate KES 174 billion (USD 1.13 billion) in annual net returns. Yet, a 60% feed deficit continues to hinder agricultural growth, livestock health, and economic development. Addressing these challenges requires collective action, knowledge exchange, and strategic partnerships, precisely what AFEC-Nairobi 2026 is designed to facilitate.

This conference offers a unique platform for your members to:

• Explore a high-growth market in Eastern Africa, where demand for quality feed and ingredients is rapidly increasing.
• Forge business partnerships with leading feed manufacturers, livestock producers, and regional feed input and equipment suppliers.
• Mentorship and support the region in accessing the latest advancements in feed manufacturing technology and nutritional science through knowledge transfer and hands-on engagement.
• Position themselves as key players in a region eager to adopt innovative solutions and scale production.

With over 1,000 delegates expected—including industry leaders, investors, and policymakers—AFEC-Nairobi 2026 presents an unparalleled opportunity for your members to enter a new frontier in the animal feed industry. Whether they are considering market entry, expansion, or strategic collaboration, this forum offers the ideal environment to connect and grow. Be part of this regional transformation. East Africa is waiting for your members.
