The AgriBusiness Forum 2009 was a
targeted business forum that gathered over 400 key players with a stake in
African agriculture in Cape Town, South Africa, to discuss how the continent could unlock its
potential and boost productivity and growth.
By bringing people
together, EMRC and ABC enabled trans-continental collaboration between
entrepreneurs and agribusinesses from Africa, Europe, Asia, and the
USA.
The forum also contributed to an ongoing discussion on how to empower the private sector and migrate businesses from subsistence farming to commercial farming.
