The East African Coffee Markets & Conference (EACMC) is a producer- and market-centred platform created by Smart Farmer Africa to bring together farmers, cooperatives, estates, traders, roasters, service providers and policymakers around one core goal: connecting East African coffee to sustainable, premium markets.
The inaugural EACMC 2025 in Nairobi proved the need for such a platform. Held under the theme “Sustainable Growth & Market Access: Empowering East African Coffee Producers in a Global Market”, it filled the Oshwal Centre across three days of conference sessions, exhibitions, public cupping and competitions.
In 2025, the exhibition floor at Oshwal Centre hosted more than 50 exhibitors across the coffee value chain. A strong core of green coffee suppliers – estates, unions and cooperative societies – used the platform to profile their coffees, host cuppings and sit down with serious local and international buyers. Many left with concrete leads, sample and contract requests, and, for some, the first time to sit across the table from serious international buyers in one space.
Building on this success, EACMC 2026 expands into a year-round pipeline that combines Regional Coffee Days in key producing areas with a three-day Grand Expo & Conference in Nairobi. At every step, the focus remains clear: more volume, better quality, stronger governance and faster, more transparent market access for farmers and cooperatives.
