Tsavorite Summit at Voi Gemstone Center Marks Milestone in Mining Sector
In a significant development for Kenya’s mining industry, the Voi Gemstone, Value Addition and Marketing Center is set to host its inaugural Tsavorite Summit. This milestone event comes just over a year after the center was inaugurated by the President in October 2023, aiming to bolster support for artisanal miners and licensed traders in the region.
The center, which has quickly become a pivotal hub for gemstone processing and sales, has witnessed a notable uptick in activities. This surge is largely attributed to strategic investments in cutting-edge equipment, well-organized space allocation, and a collaborative working environment among stakeholders. The provision of trading booths specifically for miners in associations and organized groups has further catalyzed these advancements.
The upcoming Tsavorite Summit, scheduled as a conference and exhibition, is poised to bring together a diverse array of participants including regional and international buyers, dealers, miners, and exhibitors. This gathering underscores the government’s steadfast commitment to empowering artisanal miners and enhancing the profitability of the mining sector at large.
“This summit represents a pivotal moment for our gemstone industry,” remarked a spokesperson from the Voi Gemstone Center. “It not only highlights the strides made since the center’s inception but also serves as a platform to foster collaboration and innovation within the sector.”
The convergence of key stakeholders at this event is expected to spur further growth in the artisanal mining community while solidifying the gains achieved under the government’s mining initiatives. The center’s role as a safe haven and catalyst for economic empowerment in the region has been underscored by its success in facilitating gemstone documentation, processing, and sales.
