INTRODUCTION
ABOUT AGRITECH EXPO ZAMBIA
Award winning Agritech Expo Zambia is the annual agricultural hub for Zambia. It is the only B2B event that draws farmers of all scales, cooperatives, donors, investors, trade missions as well as technology and solution providers – serving as a buying platform for the local and regional farming community as well as the starting point for international companies to invest into the sub-Saharan agricultural arena.
MESSAGE FROM THE ZNFU
After three straight years of record breaking success, Agritech Expo has cemented its position as the biggest agri event in Zambia and the best business to business platform that brings together all players in the agriculture industry. Agritech Expo Zambia is back from 27-29 April, 2017, bigger, better, transformational.
It is the only expo that caters for and bridges the gap between farmers of all scales who share a common desire to improve their yields and increase productivity through access to new crop varieties, chemicals, breeding stock, technologies and mechanisation.
This year, Agritech Expo returns with even more international pavilions. Leading global agro companies will also be participating, creating a space for these companies to interact with local companies and farmers and discover exactly what the Zambian agricultural community needs.

AGRITECH EXPO GIVES BACK
Golden Valley Primary School situated at GART Research Centre has been the project of choice as the Agritech Outreach Programme to give back as part of our social responsibility to the students and the school in Chisamba, Zambia.
Agritech Expo organised by Spintelligent, Clarion Events, and the Zambia National Farmers Union (ZNFU) have invested a lot with heart, thought and assistance from generous sponsors to uplift this school over the past two years. The results have demonstrated a better learning environment for the students and school at large. However, improvements are still needed.

Awarded by the Association of African Exhibition Organisers (AAXO) and the Exhibition & Event Association of Southern Africa (EXSA)
