This annual event attracts thousands of local farmers, students, visitors and participants within the East African Community i.e. Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda and provides a great opportunity for growers to interact with experts, learn about emerging technologies and innovations that would make their operations more profitable. The trade fair incorporates major players along the value chain, namely suppliers, processors, traders, researchers, ICT, among others. There are plenty of materials for take away, including some do-it-yourself (DIY) brochures. You get a chance to see, test and negotiate for farm and other agro-industry services and products. The presence of banks provides opportunities for negotiating for loans to facilitate farmers to drive home new tractors or herds of high class livestock.
