Building Negotiation Capacity for Global Trade

Kenya’s fresh produce exporters are gearing up for , one of Europe’s top horticultural trade fairs!

But technical excellence alone won’t close international deals.
Success depends on mastering:

✅ Negotiation skills
✅ Understanding European business culture
✅ Building buyer trust

Last week, we at CropCare Technologies had the privilege of facilitating a dynamic pre-fair training workshop for 16 Kenyan horticultural companies—
In partnership with IPD – Import Promotion Desk – Kenya Hub and the Horticultural Crops Directorate (HCD).

We focused on equipping exporters with the skills to:
🟢 Confidently engage European importers
🟡 Pitch their value propositions clearly
🔵 Navigate cross-cultural business dynamics

This wasn’t just a workshop—it was a strategic step to unlock premium markets, align with EU expectations, and build lasting trade partnerships.

As Kenya pushes forward in global agribusiness, we must continue investing in soft skills that open hard markets.

Let’s keep growing—
One exporter. One handshake. One contract at a time.

🌍 Climate change is no illusion; it's a reality that impacts us all, whether we acknowledge it or not.

🤔 But why should you care?

🌊🔥🌪️ Because the consequences of ignoring this are far-reaching.

🌡️ Over time, human activities, including the extensive use of fossil fuels for industrial pursuits and the impact of modern agriculture, have disrupted the delicate equilibrium of nature.

🐄 It has reshaped how we cultivate crops, raise livestock, and generally the face of agriculture as we have known it.

🌿 Transformative solutions are needed to make a difference in combating climate change and rejuvenating our precious ecosystems.

What exactly is Carbon farming, and how does it contribute to these solutions?

💨 Carbon farming is the art of nurturing our land to reduce carbon emissions into the atmosphere and store excess carbon in the soil.

💚 Imagine a future where our soil, air, and water are harmoniously restored to their pristine state, as they once were. This is the mission of Carbon Farming.

🌍 Carbon farming encompasses a range of agricultural practices that farmers can adopt to effectively mitigate climate change.

👉 Here are a few of the practices that drive this positive change.

🌳 Agroforestry
🌊 Wetland restoration
🌾 Cover-cropping
♻️ Composting
🌑 Biochar application
🔄 Crop rotation

🌟 What did you think Carbon farming was when you first heard of it?
