IFPA's Southern Africa Conference has become an essential event on Southern Africa's fresh produce industry calendar. This year's conference is set to take place from August 1 to 3 at the Century City Conference Centre, Century City, Cape Town, South Africa.
"The IFPA Southern Africa Conference is one of the most important and exciting events on the South African fresh produce industry calendar," says Jaco Oosthuizen, IFPA Southern Africa Country Council Chair. "The subjects under discussion are relevant to all industry role players, who will greatly benefit from exposure to the insights and ideas of local and international experts in their fields. The opportunity to grow relationships with new and old business partners and colleagues is also a major attraction for everyone involved, myself included!"
