Partnership enquiryWhat is being convened
A landmark international platform designed to deepen trade, investment, innovation and cultural cooperation between Kenya and China within the tea value chain.
Kenya grows the tea. China drinks more of it than anywhere on earth. Between those two facts sits a chain of buyers, processors, financiers, freight operators and regulators who rarely occupy the same building. For three days in April 2027, they will.
Six objectives
The terms this summit is convened under.
-
Strengthen trade relations
Build durable commercial links between Kenyan tea producers and Chinese buyers.
-
Promote investment
Open Kenya's tea value chain to Chinese capital across processing, packaging and logistics.
-
Support innovation
Bring agricultural technology, processing equipment and traceability tools to the people who will use them.
-
Facilitate market access
Shorten the route from a Kenyan estate to a Chinese shelf.
-
Foster collaboration
Put producers, policymakers, financiers and researchers in the same rooms for three days.
-
Promote tea culture
Set Kenya's tea heritage alongside China's, as trade and as culture.

The expo floor
The International Tea & Technology Expo runs alongside the summit: tea products, processing equipment, agricultural technologies and logistics services, shown to the people who buy them.
Stand allocation opens with registration. Structured B2B matchmaking runs through day two, so an exhibitor's meetings are booked before they land.
