Are you ready for a thought provoking experience? The annual AMT Agri-Outlook Conference is not to be missed and remains one of the highlights on the South African agricultural calendar.

The 15th AMT Agri-Outlook Conference will be held on 29 September 2015 at the CSIR Convention Centre in Pretoria. The theme of this year’s conference is: A technological, political, resource and market perspective on Agriculture in South Africa Post 2020. Producers, producer organizations, banks, universities, government officials, agribusinesses and the media will attend. This is an excellent annual networking opportunity for all role-players in Agriculture.

Some of the renowned speakers will be Dr Roelof Botha (GOPA Group), who will give an economic outlook for 2016, and Prof Hannes Rautenbach (Head of the Department Geography, Geoinformatics and Meteorology and Associate Professor at Pretoria University), who will discuss the climate outlook for 2015 and 2016. Prof Rautenbach will give his opinion regarding rain expectations for the coming summer. Another excellent speaker, JP Landman will present his political outlook for 2016 and Dr Antony Turton will give an overview of the implications of water policy reforms on agricultural productivity in South Africa.

During the panel discussion the opportunity will arise for interaction between the audience and experts in their field. This year the panel of experts will focus on investment decisions and agriculture. Issues that will be discussed include what farmers invest in, reasons for agricultural investment in foreign countries and how investment can be attracted to the South African agricultural sector.

Opportunities for South African agriculture arising from an increasing global food demand will be the topic of Mr. Japie Snyman (Seaboard Overseas Trading and Shipping).
