First Undercover Farming Expo & Conference a huge success!

 

The first Undercover Farming Expo & Conference, which was held at the Saint George Hotel in Irene last week, was a huge success.

Hanlie Delport, Exhibition Manager, says the feedback from exhibitors, conference delegates and visitors were great. “This industry has obviously been waiting for this event and the support has been excellent. Our exhibitors were very happy about the quality of visitors, the great networking opportunities and the market exposure. Our conference delegates found the conference both informative and of a very high quality.”

This expo and conference, the first of its kind in Africa, focused on intensive farming techniques and farming industries and was an information source for existing and potential producers and buyers of vegetables, flowers, fruit and seedlings being produced under protective shelter.

The next Undercover Farming Expo & Conference will be held early next year. More information will follow soon.
