Grain SA also hopes to host more visitors this year than the over 82 that attended the show last year. He asserts that Nampo is one of the most important agriculture exhibitions in Africa, and one can expect many visitors and experts in one place — all of whom have a vested interest in the agriculture sector. Meanwhile, Grain SA Nampo and marketing assistant manager Toit Wessels enthuses that rains, which have fallen from January this year, enabled farmers to plant crops later.

He adds that, as long as the cold does not set in for about another month, there should be a good yield, bringing some relief for the industry. Wessels also discusses how the sector has been affected by the slowdown in the economy, the effects of which was noticeable in other expos that have experienced fewer attendees and have battled to fill stands.

In the build-up to the event, he mentions that new technology, bigger stands and better accessibility through computerised turnstiles are some of the attractions. International visitors will be housed in a tent near the VIP building, where countries such as the UK, France and others will be represented. The tent is sponsored and manned by agriculture and industry tour operator Rover Tours.
