The new exhibition area at Nampo has attracted considerable interest, according to Grain SA.
“We are pleased to be able to say that the home of the Harvest Day is handling the number of people well. The expanded section of the exhibitors’ area and the new parking area on the southern side of the grounds are performing well,” said Cobus van Coller, Nampo Harvest Day chairperson.

Over 650 exhibitors remain focused on enabling producers to achieve better yields and developing the image of agriculture via the annual Nampo Harvest Day. The 13 countries represented and 52 overseas companies participating in the Harvest Day are also a good barometer of the prestige enjoyed by this trade show.
Nampo gets stronger each year, building networks and serving as a discussion forum for agriculture in Africa.
“Discussions with Grain SA concentrate in particular on food security and how these countries can improve their systems to ensure food security,” said Jannie de Villiers, CEO of Grain SA.
“Every year we’re astonished by the interpersonal-relations nature of the Harvest Day. This amounts to recognition that we give to people who made their mark before us. Traditions are created here to offer a foundation for an effective agricultural industry in southern Africa.”
