The Congress aims to shape the future of Africa’s seed sector by influencing policies and regulations on seed market access and regional trade, promoting sustainable investments, encouraging collective action, and fostering regional cooperation to develop more resilient seed systems across Africa. 

We also thank the delegates, exhibitors, traders, sponsors, and advertisers who are welcome to showcase their products and technologies. Additionally, we look forward to welcoming all visitors to Nairobi, known as the "Green City under the Sun," famous for its hospitality and unique charm.

Nairobi is the only capital city with a full-scale national park within its borders, offering an extraordinary experience where visitors can encounter wildlife amidst modern skyscrapers. Let’s come together as the Seed Community to make this celebration of AfSTA's journey truly unforgettable. We are eager to welcome everyone to Nairobi for the AfSTA Congress 2027, scheduled from March 16-18. Our goal is to build on the momentum, collaborations, and innovative ideas developed during the Cape Town meeting as we continue strengthening Africa's seed systems.
