MTFC | Meet The Farmers Conference - Nov 2019

About The
Conference

Meet the Farmers Conference (MTFC) is a first of its kind agro event that aims to connect large scale commodity producers in Africa to buyers in the UAE. There is a $110 billion market gap that we believe Africa can fill. MTFC aims to tackle this imbalance by creating a thriving environment to breed synergy between African farmers, exporters and agribusiness investors with off-takers in the GCC, using Dubai as a hub.

Our vision is to aggregate both markets to facilitate profitable and sustainable business partnerships. Farmers, participants, exhibitors, and delegates at the conference will leverage on business opportunities available to them and will also gain insights into a wide range of topics such as agro commodity trading in Dubai and GCC, import and exports requirements, laws and policies, financing, shipping, insurance out many other topics.
