Afrika-Verein (German-African Business Association) and GAA – German Agribusiness Alliance are pleased to invite you to the

11^th German-African Agribusiness Forum  
"Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development through Regional Adaptation and Innovation"
January 20^th, 2025,
live event in Berlin
(Hotel Novotel Berlin am Tiergarten)

The forum will again be held under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) and we are proud to announce that Cem Özdemir (MP), Federal Minister of Food and Agriculture, will open the forum with a keynote speech.

We look forward to welcoming these Ministers of Agriculture from the African continent that have already confirmed their presence at our event:   

•    Hon. Daniel Siméon Kelema, Minister of Agriculture, Mali
•    Hon. Mohamed Abdi Hayir, Minister of Agriculture & Irrigation, Somalia

As primary sector, agriculture is the cornerstone of development for emerging economies worldwide and the basis for human wellbeing and health. In Africa, the sector has the potential to decrease poverty, to boost rural development and thereby, to improve overall living conditions drastically. To achieve those goals, innovation and adaptation to local requirements will be necessary.

Within the framework of our 11th German-African Agribusiness Forum, we will take a review of future-oriented projects that have been tackled in recent years but also look into the future and obstacles of agriculture in Africa. We want to provide a platform for all kinds of experts and practitioners in the field and renew our commitment to partnerships between Germany and Europe with Africa.

Among others, the following key topics will be addressed:

- Agricultural value chains for rural development
- New developments in African agricultural policy
- EU-African agri-food trade
- Sustainable livestock farming
- Regenerative agriculture & agroecological approaches
- Access to equipment & inputs for farmers
