The only event addressing bio-integrated agriculture and crop management innovations in Africa is now even more accessible.
June 1, 2020 | JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — AgriBusiness Global™ is responding to these unprecedented times with its debut of BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL, to be held 14-16, July, 2020. The virtual launch of this event builds on the success of the sold-out 2017 in-person event. The 2020 virtual event is again being held in partnership with the South African Bioproducts Organisation (SABO) with support from CropLife South Africa.
BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL 2020 is bringing together all segments of the value chain to guide the future of bio-integrated agriculture with a solutions-based approach to pest management and plant health. This one-of-a-kind interactive experience includes a variety of touch-points for maximum engagement along with timely diverse crop management content from market-leading experts.
Going Virtual—Growing Together
BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL serves as lively hub for building relationships that will extend well beyond the event dates. Now more than ever, we recognize the crucial need to connect, share, learn, and solve challenges together.
BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL 2020 offers a packed program focused on integrating biological products with traditional inputs, a robust Exhibit Hall, rich engagement opportunities, and dynamic roundtable discussions.
“BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL features expert presentations from thought leaders from around the world, and we are excited about removing the physical barriers to grow an even larger community,” says David Frabotta, Editor of AgriBusiness Global™ and head of programming for the event.
“We’ve engineered the program to be more interactive so we can explore real-world solutions for today’s agronomic challenges,” Frabotta says. “That’s why the multi-stakeholder model is so successful. Manufacturers, distributors, agents, and farmers can dialogue about real challenges they’re facing so practical solutions can be put into action.”
The BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL Exhibit Hall will showcase the latest products and solutions. “Our partnership with South African Bioproducts Organisation, along with support from CropLife South Africa, reflect the unification of traditional and biological sectors,” Frabotta says. “Now more than ever, we need to connect to navigate sweeping change and find solutions to produce the world’s food, feed, fiber, and fuel.”
The current market conditions make BioSolutions Africa VIRTUAL an integral event for leading agribusiness suppliers, distributors, agents, and growers who want to gain a business advantage in a competitive, rapidly changing environment.
