Chuka University and EAGC Establish a Collaboration to Promote Sustainable Food Systems in Kenya’s Upper Eastern Region

Today, Chuka University and the Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking the commencement of a collaborative venture aimed at enhancing the agribusiness landscape in Tharaka Nithi County and neighboring Upper Eastern Region Counties in Kenya. This strategic alliance has set the stage for hosting Agribusiness Expos with the first scheduled to take place at Chuka University grounds on March 14, 2024.

The expo is expected to host over 70 exhibitors and 3,000 farmers from Tharaka-Nithi, Meru, Kirinyaga, Isiolo, and Embu counties. The MOU has also featured apprenticeship opportunities and placements for Chuka University students pursuing agribusiness-related courses. This collaboration is proof that Chuka University is alive to its core mandate and it supports research to ensure safe food security.
