One of the top Agriculture Expos in South Africa
When trying to find the top agricultural events and farming expos in the world, 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 major focus on being the top export event in South Africa, with a major focus on agricultural exports.
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.
Why Farmers Choose the International Commodity Summit amongst other Agricultural Expos
Farmers are usually the targets of agricultural trade shows. Attending a farmers event or trade show often means that the farmer walks away with a lot more stuff, and a lot less money.
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
