The Migori Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) will be back after a three years hiatus caused by Covid 19.

Already earnest preparation have started after October 2023 was picked as the next date, the show chairperson George Omune said.

“We have started early preparation to ensure the show becomes a success after the three year absence due to Corona pandemic,” he said.

The agricultural show started in 1980’s as a Harambee show has seen it achieve more status where it was elevated to a Satellite show in 2013, in 2014 the ASK was moved from Migori stadium to a 35 acres site at Lichota In Suna West Sub County.

The new location further elevated the county ASK to one of the six Regional Agricultural Shows in the country. 

Omune noted that every stakeholder will be notified in advance to start early preparation to market and prepare logistics for agricultural exhibitions. 

“Our ASK show has the regional status where the neighbouring counties like Kisii, Homabay, Narok and Nyamira come to showcase their products and service. Our neighbours in Tarime Tanzania also visit the county to see the various agricultural produce and technology making it a big event that requires earlier preparations for its success”, explained Omune. 

The official urged all the stakeholders to be readily available if called upon to attend committee meetings for the smooth planning and transition of the show. 

ASK Migori Branch Manager Emily Awuor said that early preparations will help to promote excellence in agriculture, promote and showcase farmers’ produces, and market the county to international levels. 

She acknowledged that preparation for the show has started across all the committee boards to enlighten them on each step the ASK board was taking.

Awuor however, urged the stakeholders, exhibitors and farmers to consult with her office in making necessary arrangements for the show event.
