Agriculture and Agri-Expo Strengthen Ties
BY: Cobus Dowry, Provincial Minister of Agriculture
21 September 2006
Die Departement van Landbou is altyd op soek na instansies wat ons vennote wil wees. Een van hierdie instansies is Agri-Expo. Die werk wat Agri-Expo doen bevorder nie net op 'n praktiese manier die beeld van landbou op verskeie terreine nie, dit bied ook op verskeie maniere geleenthede aan produsente om hulle produkte met mekaar te vergelyk.

The history of Agri-Expo is a very colourful one. Agri-Expo (The Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society), has been supporting agriculture and promoting its image since 1831 and is continuing to do so by presenting the new and innovative "From the Earth". This expo, which will take place from the 13 - 15 October 2006 has as its objectives to introduce and inform consumers and customers of the wonderful array of products which originates from the earth and which comes to them through the agricultural supply chain.

"From the Earth" will be bringing the full spectrum of primary and secondary agriculture sectors together consisting of animals, services and the enormous variety of products such as dairy, fruit, vegetables, wool, leather and the various foods, in order to give:

  • Agriculturists, food processors and manufactures the opportunity to exhibit and introduce their products to customers as well as selling it to consumers;
  • Wine routes the opportunity to display their wines, and food;
  • Agri-businesses to supply information about their services and/or products; and
  • The consuming public the opportunity to be introduced to the processes and value, which are added to products, which originates "From the Earth".

Die Departement van Landbou oorhandig met graagte hierdie tjek ten bedrae van R500 000.00 aan u, omdat ons weet dat dit saad is wat ons in goeie grond saai wat 'n mooi oes sal oplewer vir Landbou in sy geheel.

Ons wil u alle sukses toewens met die reëlings vir die Expo.
