Hosted by Grain SA, the annual event anticipates a robust showcase of innovations, technologies, and collaborations designed to fortify the future of South African agriculture.

Grain SA acknowledged the pressing global challenges that modern agriculture faces, ranging from climate change to the intricacies of interconnected food systems.

The forthcoming Nampo Harvest Day, running from 13 to 16 May, will emphasise the importance of utilising global knowledge and innovations to empower local producers.

The Nampo Harvest Day continues to uphold its reputation as a platform where local farmers can engage with international advancements while respecting South Africa's unique agricultural landscape.

Grain SA said the event remained the one-stop platform for producers, agribusinesses, and service providers to connect, collaborate, and trade.

"Global Agriculture Locally" is not just a theme: it’s a timely lens for South Africa's grain producers to view their role in a fast-changing agricultural economy," it said.
