Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Ethiopian International Office recently organised a roundtable in Nairobi, Kenya, which brought together representatives from the East African Community, EAC, to discuss and review opportunities for cooperation and investment in the agri-business industry for Dubai businesses and their East African counterparts.
The 2nd East Africa and Dubai Agribusiness Roundtable meeting was attended by Abdul Razak Mohammed Hadi, UAE Ambassador to Kenya, and representatives of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce, East African Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture, the Private Sector Federation Rwanda and the Chambers of Burundi, Tanzania Zanzibar and Uganda.
The roundtable discussed cooperation in agribusiness industry in light of Dubai traders’ focus on the food security issue as the emirate imports more than 85 percent of its food requirement from overseas markets thus opening the doors to enhanced cooperation between investors from both the sides.
