Update on the AfCPA 2024 Main Conference Venue
Due to logistical considerations beyond our control, in November, the AfCPA Conference organizing team decided to change the main conference venue from Kigali, Rwanda to Marrakech, Morocco.
The conference dates (3-5 December 2024) remain unchanged, and we are excited to host you in the vibrant city of Marrakech. Please update your travel arrangements accordingly, and do not hesitate to reach out to our team for any support on additional details about the new venue. Further updates will be released as they become available.
Thank you for your understanding and flexibility. We look forward to a successful and enriching experience at AfCPA 2024 in Marrakech!

2nd African Conference on Precision Agriculture
In December 2022, the African Plant Nutrition Institute (APNI) organized and hosted the 2nd African Conference on Precision Agriculture (AfCPA) in cooperation with the University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P), the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) and the African Association for Precision Agriculture (AAPA). The mission of AfCPA was to create an event that would “connect the science and practice needed to put precision agriculture (PA) in action for Africa.”
AfCPA 2022 was structured as a hybrid event with a main conference site in Nairobi, Kenya, and 10 other in-person satellite sites distributed across North, West, East, and Southern Africa.
At it's close, this 2nd edition of the conference featured over 140 presenters speaking to audience of 700+ registrants representing 34 countries (18 in Africa). Over the course of two and a half days, the main program from Nairobi featured 7 keynote speakers, 20 plenary presentations, and 3 in-depth panel discussions. Satellite sites offered local plenary sessions which extended the scope of the conference and gave researchers an opportunity to discuss regional-specific issues.
