The growing challenge of fake seeds in Kenya's market is expected to take centre stage as the country prepares to host the Seed Trade Association of Kenya Congress.
The two-day congress, starting Wednesday, will bring together more than 150 delegates from Kenya, across the East African Community and beyond.
The congress will provide a platform for dialogue and innovation across Kenya's commercial and private seed value chain, with a strong focus on improving seed quality.
Stakeholders are expected to explore solutions to curb the circulation of counterfeit seeds, strengthen regulation and expand farmers' access to certified, quality seeds.
