Opportunities in African Agriculture Seminar

With a sizable percentage of the globe’s reserves of potential rain-fed cropland, Africa will one day become a breadbasket for both domestic and export markets. As most of the continent has never employed modern techniques for agricultural production, processing and transportation, producers often lack basic infrastructure, crop varieties optimized for local conditions and other tools commonly available in more developed regions. However, for the handful of managers pioneering agricultural production in Africa, these challenges present opportunities.

Conference details: Global AgInvesting SM, the premier global agriculture conference series, comes to Europe at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square, Dec. 3-5, 2012.  The event brings together leading global end investors, fund managers, academics, policy experts and agribusiness industry executives and representatives of multilateral, governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations to explore the opportunities and challenges of investing in agriculture.
