Background
Canada’s agribusiness industry is renowned for its high-quality outputs, pristine environment, diverse food offerings, and sustainable practices. Globally, Canada stands as a prime destination for ventures in agriculture, agri-tech, and food products.
The agricultural and agri-food sectors significantly bolster the Canadian economy. While Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada directly supports primary agriculture, food and beverage processing.

Such prowess presents immense opportunities for international collaboration, especially with Africa.

These proportions, considerably surpassing global averages, underscore Africa's potential.
Africa's average farm machinery utilization lags, marking it the lowest globally. This gap showcases a ripe opportunity, as numerous enterprises within the continent are actively seeking the advanced agri-tech solutions that Canada's agriculture sector excels in. Recognizing this symbiotic potential, the Afro-Canada Agribusiness Initiative and Global Events Canada presents the Agribusiness Expo 2024. This three-day event aims to seamlessly merge Africa's agricultural realm with North America's expertise.
