The main objective of this event is to bring together strategic stakeholders of SUA to discuss and agree on how they can work together through win-win partnerships to enhance contribution of the agricultural sector to the national economy. During the event SUA will also have an opportunity to share with participants its capacity, aspirations and challenges while stakeholders will be able to use this platform to present their general and specific research and consultancy needs. The event will also provide an opportunity for SUA and other organisations to promote their products and services to delegates and visitors to the exhibitions.
