AFGRI is proud to once again be a platinum sponsor of the Nation in Conversation series that will be broadcast live from the Nampo Harvest Day taking place in Bothaville from 16 to 19 May

 AFGRI, the leading agricultural services company with a core focus on grain commodities and a vision of driving food security across Africa, is proud to be a platinum sponsor of the Nation in Conversation discussions that will be broadcast live during the four days of the agri-industry’s premier event, Nampo Harvest Day.

From 16 to 19 May, local and international farmers as well as companies servicing the sector will gather in Bothaville in the Free State for the annual trade show. Nampo Harvest Day celebrated its 50th anniversary last year and is gaining in popularity amongst farmers to avail themselves of the opportunity to interact with experts in various agricultural fields and to benefit from their insights.

AFGRI has partnered with the preeminent agricultural trade show for the eighth consecutive year and has been involved with the country’s respected agri talk show, Nation in Conversation, for the past four years. The series has grown in stature and importance with leading players in the industry and mainstream economy participating in the discussions.

During the festival, viewers can look forward to daily panel discussions in front of a live studio audience on the following subjects: Finances: Labour, Diversification & Financial Planning; From Commodity to Trademark; The Role of Advisors, Technology and Soil Health; Female Role Players in Agriculture; Focus on Youth: A future in Agriculture; The Political Will and Successful Transformation Initiatives.

These riveting subjects will be facilitated by an equally reputable line up of show hosts and guests such as Carte Blanche’s Derek Watts; 702 and CapeTalk’s Eusebius McKaiser; former Nation in Conversation guest anchor and media expert Jeremy Maggs; CEO of Galileo Capital, Theo Vorster; Money Talk host Bruce Whitfield; Nation in Conversation co-anchor Mpumelelo Mkhabela and Power FM’s personality Andile Khumalo, with former politician and current chairman of the In Transformation Initiative, Roelf Meyer, as a special guest.

Among the stakeholders featured and represented on this series will be representatives from industry thought leaders like AFGRI, Senwes, Monsanto, Engen, Nedbank and the Department of Agriculture.

This year’s production of Nation in Conversation at Nampo Harvest Day is made possible by the following partners: AFGRI, Engen, Grain SA, Monsanto, Nedbank and Senwes, in association with Hinterland and Imperial Isuzu.

AFGRI clients will have the opportunity to engage with AFGRI at the Nation in Conversation VIP lounge. For more details and programme information, please visit the Nation in Conversation website at www.nationinconversation.co.za and download the app to join the conversation.
