THE Agribusiness forum which was scheduled for the first week of November has been shifted to the last week of the same month. Deat Capital managing director Mr Nicky Moyo, whose company is organising the event, said they changed the date to allow more consultations.
“The forum has been shifted a bit to give us enough time to engage with international and local development financiers to be part of the initiative,” he said.
Mr Moyo said they were finalising talks with the Ministry of Agriculture, Mechanisation and Irrigation Development to involve them in the initiative.
He said there was a need to involve the financiers so that they discussed opportunities and strategies to finance agriculture. “We are in the process of bringing international and local development financiers to discuss opportunities and strategies to finance the agricultural sector,” said Mr Moyo.
He said this initiative was going to bring a positive change in the agricultural sector as a whole.
The forum will run under the theme, “Boosting Agriculture through Partnerships, Investment and Technology.”
It will be held with the aim of promoting the role and importance of agriculture and agribusiness contributing to economic growth, development and food security in Zimbabwe and Africa.
Players in the sector will meet local and international investors who want to invest in the sector.
The participants will share ideas to gain an understanding of local, regional and global market demand, understand price developments in the commodity markets, and understand the latest developments in land and water management.
The event will be held in Harare.
