African Farming: Development Imbizo 2027

The African Farming Agri-Development Imbizo 2027 is not just another event it's a platform for action. Over two days, our Imbizo will facilitate interactions, linkages and collaborative efforts within the industry.

Founded in 2020, the African Farming brand (print, online, and television) strives to promote black commercial farming in South Africa by providing informative and inspiring content and creating platforms to help farmers develop and grow.

Now in its fourth year, the Imbizo returns to where it all began the Birchwood Hotel & OR Tambo Conference Centre bringing together more than 200 farmers, agribusiness entrepreneurs, policymakers, financiers and industry leaders to network, discuss and find solutions and strategies to overcome barriers related to finance, markets, skills and training.

From its inaugural gathering in 2024 to the transformative editions that followed, the Imbizo has grown into a cornerstone event for South Africa's emerging agricultural sector. Each year, the event moves beyond conversation to practical engagement connecting farmers with decision-makers, unlocking opportunities and strengthening partnerships that accelerate the growth of a new generation of commercial farmers.

Whether you're an emerging farmer seeking capital, markets and mentorship, or an industry stakeholder looking to invest in and collaborate with the next generation of agricultural entrepreneurs, the Imbizo offers direct access to the people and networks that shape the future of South African agriculture.
