The Government is seeking to strengthen ties with China through a strategic investment partnership aimed at transforming key value chains, promoting technology transfer, and enhancing agro-industrialization.
This renewed engagement between Kenya and China signals a bold step toward sustainable development and shared prosperity between the two countries in unlocking agriculture and livestock development's potential through technology, trade and investment.
Principal Secretary, State Department for Agriculture, Kipronoh Ronoh, speaking during a high-level bilateral engagement in Nairobi, where he hosted the Chinese Delegation, said that the partnership promises not only to boost Kenya's food production and export potential but also to offer Chinese investors access to a vibrant and growing agricultural market in East Africa. "This investment opportunity with Chinese partners, emphasizes Kenya's strategic position as a gateway to the East African Community (EAC) and the continent's growing demand for food security and agricultural modernization," he said.
Ronoh said that the bilateral engagement emphasized Kenya's vision for modernizing agriculture and promoting food security through technology and innovation, as both countries move towards deepening bilateral ties in the agriculture and livestock sector.
