Participating organisations
Fertiliser production and trade leaders from across the region will all be participating in discussions, including OCP Africa, ICL, Indorama, ETG, Farmers World and Chemplex. They will be joined by representatives of the development and investment community such as the African Development Bank, AGRA, One Acre Fund and the Alliance for Commodity Trade in East and Southern Africa (ACTESA).
“With sessions on critical issues such as the cost of fertiliser for the regions farmers, how supply chains of agricultural inputs can be improved and how local government and international suppliers of fertiliser can work in partnership to build strong agribusiness, the event will be invaluable,” says Nicola Coslett, CEO of CRU Events.
