Kilimo RoundTable Africa Announces 2nd Agriculture Summit & Gala Dinner: Building on the Momentum to Feed Africa and the World

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania – June 26, 2025 – Kilimo RoundTable Africa is pleased to announce the 2nd Kilimo RoundTable Agriculture Summit & Gala Dinner, set to take place on August 6, 2025. This highly anticipated event follows the groundbreaking success of the inaugural summit held in Dodoma during the 2024 Nane Nane celebrations, which set a new precedent for collaboration and innovation in the sector.

The first gala, themed “Igniting the Potential of Tanzania to Feed Africa and the World,” was a transformative milestone. It effectively showcased Tanzania’s agricultural strength and galvanized stakeholders across the value chain to unite in building a more prosperous, resilient, and globally competitive agricultural sector.

We are creating a home where farmers, financiers, processors, and policymakers can work side by side to transform agriculture—not just in Tanzania, but across the continent.”

The upcoming event is expected to attract a diverse mix of farmers, agribusinesses, transporters, financial institutions, government bodies, researchers, development partners, and media representatives. It will provide a critical space for forging partnerships, attracting investment, and advancing policy dialogues that support sustainable agriculture and food systems transformation.
