14th-15th June 2013. Arusha. Seliani Agricultural Research Institute (SARI). The Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC) in collaboration with other stakeholders has organised a two-day
EAGC Agribusiness Expo 2013.
The Agribusiness Expo is one of its kind and is aimed at bringing together all players in the agribusiness industry to exhibit their wares and services. It serves as a one-stop shop that creates a face-to-face encounter between the service providers and the users/buyers- of the farming community.
The theme for this year’s expo was “The Future of Agribusiness: Pathways to Commercialisation”. Under the theme, the expo targeted players in the agro-industry, including
agro dealers, farm implement traders, food processors, players in the financial sector including banks, insurance companies and research institutions, among others.
