MTFC seeks to bring together farmers, agro stakeholders and investors to discuss the theme ‘Creating a Sustainable Future for Food Security, Trade and Technology’. The conference is the perfect opportunity to connect, learn and network with policymakers, top agro stakeholders, investors, farmers and off-takers from across Africa and the Gulf Cooperation Council.

The conference will provide insights into different topics like agro commodity trading, import and export duties, financing, shipping, insurance, etc. It will create an opportunity for agro importers from the GCC to trade with exporters from Africa. The sole aim of the conference is to tackle the agro imbalance between both regions.

Registration is still ongoing for participants, sponsors and exhibitors to apply. The event will feature keynote addresses, panel sessions, networking, and the Innov8 Agric Challenge – a pitch competition.
