The yearly Agri Gauteng Ekspo, in proud partnership with Agri SA

Come and visit our stall between the 7th – 9th of August 2019 @ Vleissentraal Onderstepoort, Pretoria

Agri Gauteng, in collaboration with Agri SA, will be presenting the 2nd Agri Gauteng Ekspo this year. The Ekspo is committed to showcase a vibrant industry to young and emerging farmers. The Ekspo takes place at Vleissentraal, Onderstepoort, on 7, 8 and 9 August 2019 and admission is free.

The weekly livestock auction presented at Vleissentraal, will once again form a focal point of the Ekspo. Over the three days, workshops will be held on all aspects of livestock farming, including introductions to pig farming, dehorning and branding of cattle and judging of cattle, sheep and goat breeds as well as carcass assessment.

Furthermore, training initiatives on Beekeeping and Game Farming, and everything you need to know about vertical farming, hydroponics, grains and chemicals, will again form an integral part of the program.
If you are an existing commercial farmer, emerging farmer or a young emerging agricultural student who is keen to find opportunities in the agricultural sector, you cannot miss this Ekspo.

Gates open at 09:00 and close every day at 17:00.
