As part of the SheTrades Commonwealth+ Programme, funded by UK International Development, the International Trade Centre (ITC) is bringing a delegation of 15 Kenyan women-led businesses in the fresh agrifood, processed agrifood, and coffee sectors to the United Kingdom.
During their UK trade mission (1–5 December 2025), the entrepreneurs will visit London, Manchester, and Yorkshire to connect with British buyers, importers, wholesalers, specialty retailers, and distributors interested in diversifying their supply chains with high-quality and ethically sourced Kenyan products.
Manchester will host a dedicated B2B engagement day on 4 December 2025, featuring business-to-business meetings, sector-specific site visits, and networking opportunities.
