In less than two weeks, Othaya Teachers’ College in Nyeri County will transform into a hub of innovation, inspiration, and opportunity as StunnerBiz Mashinani takes center stage on 26th–27th September 2025. With over 3,000 participants and exhibitors expected, the stage is set for one of the most impactful agribusiness gatherings rural Kenya has ever witnessed.
At the heart of this movement is one mission: to change the mindset of young people towards agribusiness.
For far too long, agriculture has been seen as a fallback option rather than a strategic career path. Yet, the reality is different. Agribusiness today is one of the fastest-growing sectors, with opportunities across value chains; farming, processing, finance, renewable energy, digital solutions, and export markets. StunnerBiz Mashinani is designed to unlock these possibilities for Kenya’s youth, cooperatives, and MSMEs.
Why Youth Are the Focus
Kenya’s youth are ambitious, educated, and resourceful. But with unemployment rates at worrying levels, many struggle to find opportunities that match their skills and energy. StunnerBiz Mashinani answers that gap by offering a practical, high-impact platform where young agripreneurs can:
- Connect directly with enablers such as financial institutions, SACCOs, and agritech companies.
- Gain hands-on insights from seasoned agripreneurs who have turned ideas into thriving enterprises.
- Explore new frontiers in value addition, renewable energy, and digital farming solutions.
- Showcase and test innovations before a diverse audience of buyers, partners, and development actors.
This is not another talk shop. It is an action-oriented event, where youth walk away not just with inspiration, but with contacts, opportunities, and a clearer vision for their agribusiness journey.
Partnerships that Matter
The event is powered by Biashara Leo Magazine, which has profiled hundreds of youth-led businesses since 2007, and it has already attracted strong partnerships from financial institutions, agribusiness companies, training institutions, and cooperatives. Collaborations with GTN TV and other media platforms will ensure that the message reaches far beyond Nyeri, amplifying success stories and inspiring thousands more.
By converging government, private sector, development partners, and youth on one platform, StunnerBiz Mashinani creates a 360-degree ecosystem of growth.
A Turning Point for Rural Agribusiness
For the youth of Nyeri and beyond, this event could very well mark a turning point. By shifting mindsets, building networks, and showcasing tangible opportunities, StunnerBiz Mashinani will prove that agribusiness is not just about survival—it is about prosperity, dignity, and the future of Kenya’s economy.
The message is clear: Agribusiness is cool, profitable, and the future belongs to those who embrace it.
As the countdown continues, all eyes are on Othaya. The youth are ready. The opportunities are ripe. And StunnerBiz Mashinani is the bridge that will connect the two.
