By KNA, September 5, 2022Preparations are in top gear at the Kabiru-ini Show Grounds in Nyeri, which will host the annual Agriculture Society of Kenya (ASK) show after a two-year disruption due to Covid-19 restrictions.
By Friday evening, rollers and earth movers could be seen upgrading the roads leading to different exhibition stands within the showground.
Different exhibitors were also making final touches on their exhibits and exhibition stands in readiness for Wednesday, when the agricultural fair will officially be opened.
A schedule on ASK website states that the Central Kenya show will run from Wednesday, September 7 to Saturday, September 10 under the theme “Promoting Innovation and Technology in Agriculture and Trade. Unlike the previous years where the show attracted exhibitors mainly from the agriculture, trade and allied industries, this time youth enterprises, women based organisations, institutions of higher learning will also be showcasing their wares during the four-day fair.
According to Central Kenya ASK Chairman Patrick Karinga (pictured), this year’s show will bring together 110 exhibitors in over 10 categories. Society has also extended the booking period for exhibitors to Tuesday next week to allow more participants to take part in the annual fair. “We are appealing to all farmers and entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas to attend and take part in this premier event that provides a favourable platform for the display of technology and innovations in its diversities,” Karinga said.
