We call upon every Kenyan to take pride in our coffee heritage and become an ambassador of our own coffee. We cannot ask the world to embrace and celebrate Kenyan coffee if we do not first embrace it ourselves.
Kenya produces some of the finest coffee in the world, renowned for its distinctive flavour, quality and origin. It is time we build a stronger domestic coffee culture by making Kenyan coffee our beverage of choice, supporting local producers, exploring its diverse flavours and proudly sharing its story.
The Kenya Coffee Flavor & Origin Expo provides an opportunity to celebrate this heritage, connect consumers with coffee growers and industry players, and deepen appreciation of what Kenya produces.
We encourage Kenyans, especially our young people, to attend the Expo from 14th to 16th November 2026 at Shamba Events Centre, Loresho, Nairobi.
Let us not leave the promotion of Kenyan coffee to international markets alone. Every Kenyan should be its first ambassador. Drink Kenyan coffee, promote Kenyan coffee and proudly tell the Kenyan coffee story.

🇰🇪🇨🇳 #MakeItKenya in Shanghai!
The Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in China today hosted the Kenya Products and Brands Promotion Forum at Ruifeng Hall, Shanghai. Organised by the China Kenya Trade Center on the sidelines of @ciieonline, the forum brought together Chinese importers, coffee roasters and investors, alongside Kenyan exporters and government agencies. The Kenyan delegation was led by @MakeItKenya Board Chair, Mr. Dennis Mwirigi.
The forum highlighted the growing trade opportunities between Kenya and China, with Kenya's exports to China increasing by 73% to KSh 11.76 billion between May and October 2026, following the introduction of duty-free market access. Kenyan coffee exports to China also grew by 65%, reaching USD 7.96 million in the 2024/25 period.
With China importing approximately USD 10.6 billion worth of products annually in sectors such as tea, coffee, avocados, macadamia nuts, flowers and fish, Kenyan exporters have significant opportunities to expand their presence in the market.
At #CIIE2026, 15 Kenyan companies are exhibiting at the Kenya Pavilion in Hall 5.2, connecting with potential buyers and partners while showcasing the quality and diversity of Kenyan products.
With duty-free access to the Chinese market, the opportunity for Kenyan exporters is growing. Visit the Kenya Pavilion, discover Kenyan products and explore business partnerships.
