Introduction
The Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC) is a regional Not-for-Profit membership organization
headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya with country offices in Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Malawi and

farmers, traders, processors, and private sector service providers; financial institutions, input
suppliers, and professional institutions in the grain value chain which focuses to Facilitate efficient,
structured, and profitable grain trading system in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region.
EAGC will be hosting the 10th African Grain Trade Summit (AGTS), to be held from 5th to 7th October
2023 at the Speke Resort Munyonyo, Uganda. The AGTS is a biennial high-level, public-private grain
industry event hosted by EAGC that brings together key grain sector stakeholders from across Africa
and beyond for an in-depth, evidence-based discussion on topical grain sector issues with the intention
of providing the strategic thrust for development of the grain sector in Africa. It will be hosted by EAGC
in partnership with the Government of Uganda and will carry the theme: “Defining Africa’s place in
global grain trade for sustainable food systems.” The physical conference, exhibition, field visits and
networking events will be hosted in Munyonyo, Uganda taking into consideration all Covid-19
protocols, while a specialist online platform will allow delegates from around the world to join the
deliberations and engage virtually.

The AGTS is hosted by EAGC and its partners every two years as its flagship platform for driving
policy changes for the grain sector in Africa. The Summit typically convenes approximately 300 highlevel grain industry stakeholders from across Africa and beyond to shape the business and
development agenda for the grain sector in Africa. It is typically graced by the Head of State in the
host country and resolutions from the Summit are presented to Head of State for further direction
following its conclusion.

EAGC therefore seeks to position its branding, visibility and communication materials strategically
for the 10th African Grain Trade Summit.
