Political leaders and professionals from six counties at the Coast will converge in Malindi next week to discuss investment opportunities in the blue economy along the Indian Ocean.

The two-day Jumuiya Agribusiness and Blue Economy Investment Conference (Jabeic) is organised by Jumuiya ya Kaunti za Pwani (JKP) and is a prelude to the Sustainable Blue Economy Conference to be held in Nairobi later this month.
