NaneNane 2026 Wraps Up: HortiLogistica Africa Booths Draw Thousands Across Dodoma, Arusha and Zanzibar

NaneNane, Tanzania's national Farmers' Day exhibition, has come to a close for another year, and HortiLogistica Africa's booths across all three grounds — Nzuguni in Dodoma, Themi in Arusha, and Zanzibar — welcomed a steady stream of visitors throughout the fair, with thousands of farmers, cooperatives and agribusinesses stopping by over the course of the event to learn more about the November trade fair in Arusha.

Dodoma: The Biggest Turnout

As the national exhibition and the largest of the three grounds, Nzuguni in Dodoma once again delivered the strongest turnout by far. Booths 23 and 24 saw a constant flow of visitors for the duration of the fair, from smallholder farmers to established cooperatives and agribusinesses, many of them hearing about HortiLogistica Africa 2026 for the first time and leaving with a clear picture of how to exhibit at or attend the event this November.

Arusha: Close to Home

At Themi grounds in Arusha, being right on HortiLogistica Africa's home turf gave the team a chance to speak directly with growers and agribusinesses from the very region hosting the November exhibition. Many visitors were already familiar with Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge as a venue, and conversations at the booth focused heavily on how local producers can take part.

Zanzibar: Extending the Reach

The Zanzibar leg of NaneNane gave HortiLogistica Africa a foothold with an audience it might otherwise reach less often — spice growers, island cooperatives and agribusinesses whose export interests differ from those on the mainland. Their presence at the booth was a reminder of how far the conversation around the November event is already travelling.

Thank You to Everyone Who Visited

HortiLogistica Africa extends its sincere thanks to every farmer, cooperative, agribusiness and stakeholder who took the time to visit the booths at Nzuguni, Themi and Zanzibar. The response at all three grounds was overwhelmingly positive, with visitors expressing genuine excitement about attending HortiLogistica Africa 2026 this November — a strong vote of confidence from the very communities the event is built to serve.

Looking Ahead to November

With NaneNane now behind it, the team is carrying that momentum straight into the countdown for HortiLogistica Africa 2026 at Ngurdoto Mountain Lodge, Arusha, this 8–10 November. Exhibitor and visitor registration remain open at hortilogisticaafrica.com.
