AFASA is a formal structure that represents the interests of developing farmers countrywide.

President Cyril Ramaphosa will tomorrow, Monday 20 August 2018, address the African Farmers Association of South Africa (AFASA) Agribusiness Transformation Conference Gala Dinner.

AFASA is a formal structure that represents the interests of developing farmers countrywide. The association has developed a focus on food security and commercialization as part of enabling black farmers' participation in the Fourth Industrial Revolution - a fusion of technologies that entail new capabilities for people and machines.

Tomorrow's Presidential Gala Dinner is part of AFASA's three-day conference which takes place under the theme "Re-organise, Sustain and Industrialise".
