Agritech Expo Zambia celebrates its 6th birthday in Chisamba in April and offers new features, country pavilions and more free training.
“Agritech Expo Zambia 2019 promises more agro-technology and innovation advancements as the event continues to unveil the future for our agriculture” says Jervis Zimba, President of the Zambia National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU), the owners of the event that returns to Chisamba from 11 to 13 April 2019.
The success story of this agricultural showcase is a great source of pride for the ZNFU. Last year the event featured several international pavilions again and a VIP attendance that included 3 cabinet ministers and the Zambian President Edgar Lungu, who visited the event for the fourth year in a row.
Zimba says the huge success of the 2018 event in the face of numerous challenges, including the economic crunch, as well as cholera and foot and mouth disease outbreaks in the area, “showed that the organisers, the local partners and the government always manage to work together and towards excellence and year after year deliver an outstanding product that has proven to be valuable and indeed unmissable for regional farmers of all scales, exhibitors and sponsors alike.
This year the event at Gart is expected to bring more than 20 000 visitors, over 220 local and international exhibitors, including international pavilions from Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Zimbabwe, with 3500 VIP and large-scale farmers and 150 members of the media.
Agritech Expo Zambia is free to attend for all visitors that pre-register.
