The 10th Annual Summit of the African Green Revolution Forum (AGRF), will be held virtually from 8-11 September 2020 and will be co-hosted by the Government of Rwanda and the AGRF Partners Group. The AGRF is considered the world’s leading forum for African agriculture, bringing together stakeholders in the agricultural landscape to take practical actions and share lessons that will move African agriculture forward.
Background
This year’s Summit comes at an unprecedented time when major African cities, especially those that rely mainly on imported food, face a looming hunger crisis following implementation of lockdowns in several countries to contain the spread of COVID-19. The theme of the summit, Feed the Cities, Grow the Continent: Leveraging Urban Food Markets to Achieve Sustainable Food Systems in Africa, is a call to action to rethink food systems to deliver resilient, better nourished, and more prosperous outcomes for all.
Opportunities for SMEs through the Agribusiness Deal Room
One of the key events at the AGRF is the Agribusiness Deal Room, a matchmaking session whose objective is to drive new business deals and commitments by providing companies in the agriculture and agribusiness sectors with information on access to finance, mentorship, and market entry solutions to support their growth objectives. The Agribusiness Deal Room aspires to be the prime platform to drive deal origination and access to finance for a pool of critical agribusiness and SMEs in the coming years. It also creates opportunities for governments to present investment opportunities, promote investment incentives and engage with interested investors.
Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) has partnered with Uganda Investment Authority (UIA) to pitch investment opportunities from Uganda’s agricultural sector during this year’s Agribusiness Deal Room. These opportunities will be made available in partnership with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives (MTIC), Commercial Agriculture for Smallholders and Agribusiness (CASA), Uganda Agribusiness Alliance (UAA), Uganda Export Promotion Board (UEPB), Uganda Development Bank Ltd (UDBL), aBi Development and USAID.
The Uganda Country Deal Room Session will take place virtually on Wednesday, 9th September at 11:00am (Central African Time). This will be a one-hour session during which the country delegation will have the opportunity to showcase opportunities to a wide range of potential investors, development partners, bi-lateral donors amongst other stakeholders.
