South Africa’s fresh produce industry will gather at Emperor’s Palace, Johannesburg for this year’s allFresh! conference in September.

The event, which takes place on September 16, offers the opportunity for networking and knowledge sharing in South Africa’s agri-business economy.

The theme of this year’s conference - Sustainability in a Changing Cultural Environment - gets to the heart of what is relevant in South Africa, with a strong line-up of speakers and topics discussing key topics from land reform to legislation, climate change and - more relevant than ever - our country’s diverse cultures.

allFresh! has joined forces this year with Buzz Communications, Siyenza Management and Camouflage Visual Solutions , to deliver a conference that is bigger, better and more exciting than ever.

The organisers said: “This year promises to be as interesting as ever, and we hope to see everyone there to discuss, analyse, debate and construct newer and better solutions to issues facing our industry. This is the perfect event to attend should you want to cement relationships, make new contacts and explore business opportunities.”

“There are a few elements that make allFresh! such a successful event. The conference has the trust of all the big role-players in the industry, knows the industry intimately and has a track record of immaculately organised events.”

Past events have seen attendance approaching 500 delegates, with all segments of the industry well-represented, including growers and packhouses; growers’ associations; retailers, exporters and wholesalers; market agents; fresh-cut processors; service providers; input suppliers; agro-chemical companies; cargo agents and transport; government and associated industries.
