The first two days of the 57th edition drew impressive crowds and notable guests, underscoring both the event's enduring popularity and its vital role in advancing agricultural dialogues in South Africa.

Grain SA on Thursday highlighted that the annual event commenced with a moving wreath-laying ceremony at the Wall of Remembrance, honouring those who have contributed meaningfully to the agricultural community.

Dr Dirk Strydom, managing director of Nampo, said discussions touched on several urgent topics, including the challenging production conditions faced by South African producers, the troubling levels of farm crime and issues of rural safety, and the need to improve market access.

"There was a strong focus on positioning agriculture as a key driver of job creation and economic growth in South Africa," Streydom said.
