The Zimbabwe Agriculture Society is satisfied with the ongoing preparations for the 2013 Harare Agricultural Show which starts tomorrow.
ZAS said everything was in order with exhibitors now putting final touches to their stands.Few exhibitors were on Tuesday still to start their preparations. Most of these exhibitors usually start working on their stands on the first day of the show.
“We are quite happy with the preparations. We are looking at the usual capacity of 780 stands. We currently have 740 stands booked which is less than the 750 stands that had been booked same period last year,” said ZAS spokesperson Ms Heather Madombwe.
Ms Madombwe said since the show was running concurrently with the UNWTO in Victoria Falls, it was impossible for some companies to exhibit at both functions.
She said about 320 farmers have registered to participate at this year although the number is expected to increase.
“We are still to finalise with farmers from Chinhoyi. Most farmers are arriving on Thursday with their produce and we expect some to book on that day,” she said.
There would be a bull sale on August 29, with viewing of the bulls starting on Sunday.
The Mukono Bull Sale would see 45 quality bulls of five different breeds selected from 10 registered breeders being sold.
