THE African agri investment showcase

If you are an investor: Learn about the key investment opportunities, risks across different regions and regulatory reforms in African agri and access pre-qualified projects in the Investment Discovery Sessions.

If you are a project sponsor / government official: Hear about investors’ investment parameters, appetite and strategies in African Agri and conduct business with global investors, financiers and agribusinesses.

If you are an agro-processor / retailer: Hear about trends influencing the agri investment and policy landscape, identify business opportunities and network with key decision makers across the value chain.

The African Agri Council (NPC) is a network of global executives, decision makers and key stakeholders in the Agricultural industry. We connect executives with their peers, policy makers, investors, financiers and leading global service providers across Africa and around the world.

The Council is an exclusive platform for networking, matchmaking and deal making in Africa. We focus on the business dynamics of agriculture: the pioneers, partnerships, investments, joint ventures and regulatory dynamics that determine the future direction of the industry and shape the sustainable food production and consumption landscape of the future.

ABOuT THE HOSTS

On behalf of the Western Cape Department of Agriculture, I would like to extend a warm welcome to the delegates attending the African Agri Investment Indaba (AAII) 2017 in our beautiful city of Cape Town.

Hosting an event of this magnitude forms an integral part of our strategy to promote the Western Cape Province as an agricultural hub and leading tourist and events destination. Hosting such events allows us to cement our reputation as a business, lifestyle, sporting and events capital.

Importantly, our partnership with Wesgro and the African Agri Council (AAC) serves as a driving force to spearhead the development of agriculture across the African continent by using agriculture as the catalyst to grow our economy, as well as connecting investors and financiers with agricultural opportunities in Africa.

Within this context, the AAII 2017 is an important event and plays a critical role in bringing key government officials and senior stakeholders across the agriculture value chain together to discuss current trends influencing investors’ confidence in African agriculture. AAII 2017 has created a vital platform for stakeholders to showcase opportunities in agriculture, conduct business during the Investment Discovery Sessions, network and share knowledge and best practice across the African continent.

Lastly, but most importantly, I invite delegates who will be descending in the mother city to explore what our beautiful city has to offer.

MEC Alan WindeWestern Cape Minister of Economic Opportunities

The African Agri Investment Indaba (AAII) 2017 is an empowering opportunity for African agri businesses and global agri investors to interact.

The African Agri Council and our partners are therefore delighted to welcome you to the

Indaba, which has been designed with ease of networking clearly in mind.

We are incredibly excited about the lineup of industry leaders and government representatives that are keen to debate strategies and showcase African agriculture investment opportunities. We encourage you to participate in our packed conference program and take advantage of the unique opportunity to engage with our speakers.

We have worked hard to streamline your networking at the event, creating a unique opportunity to maximise the number of highly constructive and focused meetings you hold in this three-day window. Pre-arrange individual meetings up to a month prior to arriving, and make this an unforgettable Indaba.

We trust that you will immerse yourself in the African agri ecosphere, meet the movers and shakers, learn from experts and public sector representatives and leave equipped with new tools and investment opportunities.

We look forward to welcoming you in November.

The argument for a diversified economy and food security has incited an increased donor, government and private sector interest in investing into agri-business. With agriculture currently contributing 12.5% of Africa GDP, employing more than half of the labour force and a projected global population growth to more than 10 bn by 2050, some investors are talking about maximising their ROI on Africa’s potential to feed the world.
