The annual Africa Agri Tech show will take place from Tuesday, 22 to Thursday, 24 June 2021 at the Sun Arena, Menlyn Maine in Pretoria. This agricultural technology showcase was originally planned for the end of February, but with the country in the midst of another national lockdown, the event organisers have decided to delay it by four months.
The three-day event is a gathering of agriculture stakeholders and serves as a platform to showcase the latest technological and scientific advancements in the sector. It is also a vital networking space for businesses and leaders to form meaningful partnerships that will benefit the South African agricultural industry.
