FCA Summit and Expo Africa 2026 Partners with Kenya Association of Manufacturers to Boost Regional Trade

Lusaka, Zambia — Organisers of the Farmers Choice Awards, Summit and Expo Africa 2026 (FCA Summit and Expo Africa 2026) have announced a strategic partnership with the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM), a move set to strengthen trade and collaboration between Zambia, Kenya, and other African countries.

As part of this partnership, 20 Kenyan small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are expected to participate in the summit and expo as exhibitors and delegates, bringing with them a diverse range of products and innovations in agro-processing, manufacturing, and value addition.

The collaboration is designed to go beyond exhibition, creating real business opportunities through structured business-to-business (B2B) engagements and direct interaction with buyers, distributors, and industry players from across the continent.

Speaking on the development, Tionge Kacheche, Public Relations Officer and Awards Coordinator for the FCA Summit and Expo Africa 2026, said the partnership reflects a growing vision to position the platform as a connector of African markets.

“This partnership is not just about participation—it’s about creating opportunities,” she said. “We are bringing businesses together from different countries to interact, learn from each other, and most importantly, trade. The inclusion of Kenyan SMEs adds a strong regional dimension that benefits not just Zambia, but the wider African market.”

The FCA Summit and Expo Africa 2026 will take place from 22nd to 24th April 2026 at the Main Arena, Showgrounds in Lusaka, and is expected to attract a wide range of stakeholders from across agriculture and agribusiness sectors.

With increasing focus on intra-African trade, organisers believe such partnerships are key to unlocking growth, especially for SMEs looking to expand beyond their borders.

The participation of Kenyan enterprises is expected to enrich the event experience while opening doors for long-term business relationships between companies in Zambia and across Africa.
