South - Africa - bound

It's Friday, the week is over and it's time to leave London...


I'm lucky enough to be sent to Johannesburg to cover the EMRC Forum on AgriBusiness to start on Sunday at the Birchwood Conference Centre. 


Here are the details on the forum :

The AgriBusiness Forum is one of EMRC International’s showcase events, aimed at strengthening the Agri-Foodsector in Africa, by encouraging partnerships, the exchange of best practices and attracting investments.

The 2011 edition of the AgriBusiness Forum will focus onEngaging the Private Sector for Africa's Agri-Food Growth. 

We believe that the success of Africa depends on the development and growth of its private sector. The four-day forum is a combination of Plenary Sessions,Technical Workshops, Pre-organized Business -  B2B - Meetings and a Market Place. 

The AgriBusiness Forum 2011 will gather agribusiness leaders and decision makers including private entities, financiers, donors, industrialists, researchers, Governments, int’l Organisations, NGOs, and others from the North and the South.


I'll tell you more next week!
