The International Commodity Summit has been recognized as One of the top Agriculture Expos in South Africa
Agricultural commodity supply chains are one of the oldest and most established in the world. With supply and demand factors constantly affecting prices, and traders constantly getting involved as middlemen in the trades, farmers are often left with the lowest amount of profit and highest amount of risk.
When trying to find high quality agricultural events and farming expos in South Africa, the main decision lies in choosing farming events that have other farmers exhibiting, and not just machinery and equipment suppliers. The International Commodity Summit has a concentrated focus on being the top export event in South Africa, with a major focus on agricultural exports.
Why farmers choose the international commodity summit over other agri expos
The International Commodity Summit provides a platform for farmers to:
- Get access to procurement divisions of major food producers and FMCG powerhouses
- Tap into international markets to supply their produce globally
- Build a supply chain and learn how to export internationally
- Get access to capital, both in banking and private equity
- Meet suppliers and negotiate for better terms
- Network, collect leads and do deals on the spot
- Learn from thought leaders on stage and meet the top local policymakers in agriculture
