Welcome to Africa Agri Expo 2026 – Tanzania
10 Years of Transforming African Agriculture – Now Entering a New Growth Era From Tanzania
Africa Agri Expo proudly marks its 10th Jubilee Edition in 2026, set against the dynamic and fast-growing agricultural landscape of Africa. Over the past decade, the Expo has become a catalyst for agribusiness transformation, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors to shape the future of agriculture across Africa.
This milestone edition celebrates 10 years of impact, partnerships, and innovation-and opens the door to a new era of growth, collaboration, and opportunity.
Why Africa Agri Expo Matters
Africa Agri Expo is more than an exhibition it’s a thriving ecosystem where agribusiness flourishes. It serves as a powerful platform that connects global expertise with local opportunity, enabling meaningful partnerships that drive sustainable agricultural development.
AAE offers an exceptional opportunity for agribusiness, agritech, and agri-professionals to expand in Africa’s rapidly expanding sector, which is projected to reach USD 1 trillion by 2030.
People who grow up in areas with better access to public transport and who learn to drive later in life rely less on cars when they are older, according to a new study by the Economic and Social Research Institute.
The report, carried out by the ESRI’s Behaviour Research Unit and funded by the Department of Transport, suggests investment in public transport has long-term benefits for congestion and the environment.
The study surveyed a nationally representative sample of more than 2,000 people aged 16 and over.

The study found that improving public transport in underserved areas may generate long-term reductions in car use by reducing the pressure to get a driving licence.
It also said that the findings showed that lowering barriers to public transport for young people by using reduced fares and frequent and reliable services had enduring effects on driving behaviour.
It said that the study had implications for planning and land use
“Planning for higher-density, mixed-use environments with viable transport alternatives not only provides public transport access in the present but may also yield environmental benefits that extend well beyond the immediate catchment area,” the ESRI said
Senior research officer with the ESRI Dr Shane Timmons said the study is trying to understand how to help people make more sustainable transport choices.
“So the decision over learning to drive was one part of the study where we’re really trying to understand the decisions that go into that and go into getting into a car in the first place,” he said
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Dr Timmons said findings show that public transport must be more accessible, affordable and attractive for young people.
“You don’t just have an effect on improving public transport in terms of traffic today, but 10 years, 20 years down the line, those young people who had access to that public transport will drive less than they would have otherwise,” he said.
