Annual Pre-harvest Agribusiness Exhibitions and Conference slated for October

Agrihouse Foundation in partnership with the Northern Regional Coordinating Council (NRCC) have slated Tuesday, October 19 to Thursday, October 21 of this year, as dates for the 11th Pre-harvest Agribusiness Exhibition and Conference. 

This year’s edition, on the theme “Working Together to Improve Market Channels for Agri-foods Beyond the Pandemic,” will take place at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, in Tamale in the Northern Region.

The event will make room, for a farmer-buyer platform, where farmers of various commodities, including maize, rice, millet, sorghum, soyabeans, cowpea, cashew, shea, etc, meet, negotiate and sign supply deals with buyers.

Another key highlight of the 3-day event will be the field demonstrations, where farmers and actors get to practically learn, appreciate and adopt best practices in Farm Management. 

In a release, the Executive Director of Agrihouse Foundation, Alberta Nana Akyaa Akosa, said “the Pre-harvest event, over the past years, had created and connected companies that were into fertilisers, seeds, irrigation, machinery and equipment among others.

 She said, in 2020, 122 companies registered and participated in the exhibitions.

“This year’s Pre-Harvest event will not come short in playing its role in facilitating farmers and agro-processors to access opportunities to expand their growth potentials and build new partnerships. We have a strong team with the capacity to ensure that,” she said.
