32nd International Conference of Agricultural Economists

International Conference of Agricultural Economists (ICAE). It's happening in New Delhi, India from the 2nd to the 7th of August 2024. The ICAE conference is organized by a professional body called the International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE). It's usually held after every 3 years.

Kenya ranks 4th, after India, the USA, and Germany, in terms of numbers attending the 32nd ICAE. We make up 7% of the participants, and I would say comfortably that about 50% of the 7% are University of Nairobi and/or Ex-UoN AgEcon.
