Kenya ready to host Arabika Coffee Day 2025

 The aroma of Kenyan coffee is set to take centre stage during the Arabika Coffee Day 2025.

The day is scheduled to be held on Friday at the E4Impact Entrepreneurship Centre in Karen, Nairobi.

The day will bring together farmers, industry experts, policymakers, and investors to discuss the future of Kenya's coffee sector.

The participation of policymakers and investors is crucial in shaping the future of the coffee industry, and their insights and contributions are highly valued.

The day will be held under the theme, 'The Future of Coffee: Sustainability, Quality, and Market Trends'.

The event will delve into key conversations shaping today's industry including tackling climate change and improving cooperative governance to exploring new market opportunities.

Arabika Coffee Day seeks to ensure a stronger, more resilient coffee sector.

Kenya has long been known for producing some of the world's finest coffee, but the industry faces significant hurdles.

Some of the challenges are fluctuating prices, aging farmers, and limited access to global markets.

The ARABIKA Project is a partnership between the Governments of Kenya and Italy, funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).

The project aims to cushion and empower the coffee industry in Kenya since its inception in 2021.

Over the years, the project initiative has worked with smallholder farmers to enhance production, improve branding, and unlock new opportunities for Kenyan coffee.

Some of the noble achievements recorded by the project include modernised coffee tasting labs to ensure quality control and consistency in Kenyan coffee, extensive farmer training and equipping smallholders and cooperative leaders with best practices to improve productivity and efficiency.

The project has also helped brand development with seven new Kenyan coffee brands in the process of registration, thus helping to boost recognition on the global stage.

It has also helped introduce Kenyan coffee to International Market Expansion where Kenyan coffee has been featured at prestigious events like the Nairobi International Trade Fair, SIGEP in Rimini - Italy, World of Coffee in Copenhagen, AFCA in Tanzania thus strengthening connections with buyers worldwide.

These achievements are a testament to the resilience and potential of the Kenyan coffee industry.

Arabika Coffee Day 2025 allows industry players to come together, share insights, and explore fresh ideas to shape Kenyan coffee's brighter future.

By attending, participants will gain valuable knowledge, connect with industry leaders, and be part of the movement towards a more sustainable and resilient coffee sector.

During the forum, experts will share insights on sustainable farming, cooperative management, and branding strategies to help Kenyan coffee thrive in global markets.

Farmers, exporters, traders, and policymakers will have the chance to connect and forge valuable partnerships.

From conversations around coffee processing techniques, attendees will discuss how technology is revolutionising coffee production.
