The Principal Secretary for Agriculture, Dr. Kipronoh Ronoh Paul, CBS, hosted the Ambassador of Israel to Kenya, H.E. Gideon Behar, for a courtesy call that reaffirmed the strong and enduring partnership between Kenya and Israel. The meeting was a clear expression of shared vision and determination to deepen cooperation in agriculture and food security, with both nations committed to harnessing innovation, technology, and expertise to transform farming and secure sustainable growth.
The discussions advanced with purpose, focusing on key areas of collaboration: the adoption of smart farming and precision agriculture to maximize productivity, the expansion of irrigation and mechanization to modernize operations, and the construction of dams to strengthen water resource management. Strategic emphasis was placed on large-scale wheat production, the scaling up of Hass avocado farming, and the enhancement of tea exports, all designed to position Kenya as a competitive force in global agricultural markets.
The partnership is more than a series of projects—it is a vision of resilience, prosperity, and transformation. By combining Israel’s cutting-edge agricultural technologies with Kenya’s vast potential, the two nations are laying a foundation for a future where farmers thrive, food systems are secure, and agriculture becomes a powerful engine of economic growth and national progress.
