Published: 03/11/2025
The Agricultural Development Agency (AGDA) recently celebrated five years of impact with a call for collaboration, inclusion, and technology-driven growth in agriculture. AGDA marked its fifth anniversary with a member and stakeholder engagement presented under the theme “Cultivating Innovation and Partnerships in Practice: Building Shared Agricultural Futures”. The gathering brought together government leaders, industry experts, and agribusiness stakeholders to reflect on the sector’s progress and chart new pathways for inclusive growth and innovation.
AGDA is a facilitator, aggregator, and integrator, representing 45 000 farmers, 50 agribusinesses, 26 financiers, and seven commodity organisations, a testament to its expanding footprint and influence across South Africa’s agricultural value chain. Opening the event, Kallie Schoeman delivered an insightful reflection on AGDA’s transformative journey since its inception, setting the tone for a day of meaningful dialogue. – Agbiz Newsletter
