It is with great pride and genuine warmth that Kenya opens its doors to welcome you to the World Potato Congress 2026.

Hosting this respected global gathering is a special moment for the country, made even more meaningful as it marks the first time the Congress is taking place in East Africa.

Kenya offers a striking setting for this important event, blending natural beauty with a rich cultural story. From the sweeping views of the Great Rift Valley to the snow capped heights of Mount Kenya, visitors are invited to experience a land that is as diverse as it is memorable. Beyond the scenery, it is the warmth of the people that truly defines the Kenyan experience.

The Congress comes at a time when the role of the potato continues to grow in importance across the world. It remains a vital crop that supports food security, strengthens economies, and sustains millions of livelihoods. As a country where agriculture plays a central role, Kenya looks forward to sharing its journey while learning from the ideas and experiences of others. This gathering presents a valuable chance to exchange knowledge and shape the future of the potato sector together.

While the sessions and discussions will be at the heart of the event, delegates are also encouraged to explore what Kenya has to offer. From remarkable wildlife in national parks to the rhythm of local traditions and the taste of authentic cuisine, there is much to discover beyond the conference halls.

Above all, this is an invitation to connect, collaborate, and build lasting partnerships. Kenya is ready to host you with open arms and ensure your visit is both rewarding and enjoyable.
