As AGRI 5 Expo enters its 12th year in 2025, it continues to serve as a critical platform to empower black farmers, grow agribusinesses, and promote meaningful transformation within South Africa’s agricultural sector. Hosted and facilitated by Atone Works, the AGRI 5 Expo is both the event platform and primary organiser, dedicated to supporting black commercial and emerging farmers across the country.
Spanning three provinces—Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, and Limpopo—the 2025 Expo will focus on creating sustainable opportunities through agro-processing, market access, and youth empowerment.
AGRI 5 Expo 2025: Driving Inclusive Growth in Agriculture
The AGRI 5 Expo is a transformative space where black farmers from across the country engage with industry leaders, private companies, and government agencies. With an emphasis on poultry, livestock, dairy, crop, and piggery production, the Expo provides tools and insights for farmers to move from raw production into value-added agro-processing.
Through in-depth workshops and live exhibitions, the platform promotes business thinking in farming, introduces strategies for turning primary produce into marketable commodities, and fosters direct dialogue between the farming community and key stakeholders.
