A number sponsors have already signed up for the 2024 expo. These include the Embassy of the Netherlands and Tunga Nutrition, a subsidiary of Trouw Nutrition also from the Netherlands.

Dr Samuel Ssewagudde a veterinary doctor and an official with Tunga Nutrition, the producers  Hendrix concentrate,  distributed by Champrisa International, promises those who will visit the expo that, their stall will walk away with many lessons and educational materials.

Tunga is already producing concentrates at their new facility in Ntinda, Kampala and all these will be exhibited at the expo.

“The stall will be fully stocked with quality and nutritious concentrates that will enable farmers manage their farm costs and maximise revenues,” Ssewagudde says.

Their stall, Dr Ssewagudde says, will host experts to explain to farmers the best feed mixing, mobile machines to check aflatoxins from feeds and also one that will check the quality of feed raw materials.

On the other hand, Medi Mwiri, Marketing Manager, Engineering Solutions promises expo goers even much better than 2023.  The company is the leading distributor of Massy Ferguson and TAFE tractors. They also fabricate spares for farm machinery. “We got a lot of feedback about our products last year so we are doing even much more this year,” Mwiri promised.

William Awora, Managing Director, RIELA Uganda says that like last year, the importance of postharvest handling for grains and cereals will take centre stage. “Farmers loose about 30% of their produce during harvesting. At the expo, we shall exhibit equipment that can help farmers process and store products,” Awora says.
