FICCI in partnership with Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India is organizing an ‘India-Africa Agribusiness Forum’ on 10-11 February 2016 at Federation House, Tansen New Delhi. It is in continuation to the spirit of deepening India-Africa cooperation in Agrifood sector echoed during the 3rd India-Africa Forum Summit held at New Delhi.

Agri-food sector, which generates substantial employment & economic growth is central to the economic discourse between India & Africa. Though India and Africa are at different stages of development in this sector, there are ample opportunities for mutual learnings. India-Africa Agribusiness Forum is an initiative aimed at sharing the best practices, showcasing latest technologies, sharing knowledge, exchanging innovative models and promoting business alliances. The objective is not only to increase output but also to create economic opportunities by spurring development of upstream products like fertilizers, seeds, pesticides etc. as well as catalyze downstream activities like grain refining, food processing etc. This turn will generate employment and contribute to the economic growth and food security of both India & Africa.

The 2 day international business forum will have the sector experts and business leaders from across Africa and India for an action oriented agenda to unlock the potential that both India and Africa have for engaging in this sector.
