Embu ASK Opens with Over 150 Exhibitors Showcasing Modern Farming Innovations

The event, held at the Embu ASK Showground Njukiri  has attracted exhibitors from across the country, ranging from agricultural institutions and seed companies to livestock breeders and technology firms eager to demonstrate solutions aimed at improving farm productivity.

The Chairman of the Agricultural Society of Kenya Embu branch, Martin Mutwiri, said this year’s show has recorded remarkable growth compared to last year, both in the number of exhibitors and the diversity of technologies on display.

Mutwiri noted that the increased participation reflects the growing interest among farmers in adopting modern farming practices to improve yields and strengthen food security in the region.

He urged farmers from Embu and neighboring counties to attend the show in large numbers and take advantage of the learning opportunities available, emphasizing that the exhibition offers practical knowledge that can transform agricultural productivity.

“Farmers should make time to visit the stands, interact with experts and learn new farming techniques that can help them increase production and manage challenges such as climate change,” Mutwiri said.

The chairperson further highlighted that the show provides a unique platform where farmers can directly engage with innovators, researchers and agribusiness players who are developing solutions tailored to the needs of local farmers.

Meanwhile, Embu County Commissioner Moses Wanyonyi assured residents and visitors that security has been significantly enhanced to guarantee a safe and successful event. Wanyonyi said security agencies have put in place adequate measures within and around the showground to ensure smooth operations throughout the exhibition period.
