Makueni Macadamia Summit 2026

Kenya has established itself as the 3rd largest producer of macadamia nuts globally, with a 13% market share, translating to 7,750 tonnes on a processed kernel basis. The macadamia sector has become a crucial cash crop for foreign exchange earnings, significantly contributing to the country’s economic development, particularly in employment creation and enhancing farmer and household incomes.
Demand for macadamias worldwide is increasing, particularly in confectionery and bakery companies. In 2022, Kenya produced 41,500T of nut-in-shell and this is forecast to increase to 63,000T by 2027. Makueni County is identified as an area with promising potential for
macadamia production and has seen an increase in farming activities, It has approximately 130.9 hectares of land under macadamia cultivation.

It is against this backdrop that the Sergeants Consulting limited, Makueni County Government and Macadamia Nut Processors of Kenya (MACNUT), are organizing the premier event for the macadamia industry. This year, we convene at Kikima Mbooni on 27th March, 2026, bringing together industry professionals, researchers, and innovators to explore the latest
advancements in macadamia cultivation, processing, market trends, advancements, cutting-edge research, and the latest technological
solutions driving efficiency, sustainability, and profitability in macadamia farming. Globally, the macadamia market is expanding rapidly, with demand for healthy, traceable, and sustainably sourced nuts projected to grow at over 10 percent annually. This creates a significant opportunity for Kenyan producers, investors, and innovators to strengthen their position in premium markets across Europe, Asia, and North America.
