OFM is once again the proud media sponsor and partner of Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day, the largest agricultural trade show in the Southern Hemisphere.

Scheduled from 14 May to 17 May 2024, the 56th edition of this event will take place outside Bothaville in the Free State, serving as a cornerstone of the agricultural calendar, attracting thousands of visitors, exhibitors, and leaders from across the country and abroad.

Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day, held at NAMPO Park, serves as a central showcase for the latest innovations in agricultural technology, machinery, research, and operations. It provides an unmissable opportunity for stakeholders to network, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations.

According to Grain SA’s Dr Dirk Strydom, Head of NAMPO, Marketing & Research Coordination, NAMPO plays an important role in connecting the agricultural sector by offering producers a one-stop environment to interact and do business with small and large businesses and relevant role players. “The South African agricultural community realise that staying connected is not just a luxury, but a necessity for growth in today’s competitive Agri-landscape. NAMPO is the trade show

that offers producers a platform to access information and interact with services and products on offer, related to production, machinery, food-processing, inputs, precision agriculture and financial solutions.”

As a media partner, OFM plays a vital role in expanding the event’s scope and impact. OFM offers comprehensive coverage of the expo and provides exhibitors with a platform to showcase their marketing messages to a broad audience, ensuring maximum exposure.

Throughout the week, the ‘OFM Opstal’ can be visited across the NAMPO hall from which OFM will broadcast live, featuring interviews with exhibitors, agricultural stakeholders, and industry leaders. Visitors can also come to the OFM CLOSET to purchase branded clothing. Additionally, the marketing team will conduct exciting promotions on-site, giving visitors the chance to meet their favourite presenters.

OFM’s marketing and sales manager, Anchen Lintvelt, says OFM’s partnership with Grain SA’s Nampo Harvest Day is not only a highlight for OFM, but also something we are immensely proud to be associated with. “The agricultural sector is of crucial importance to OFM and our involvement with NAMPO allows us to live out our love for agriculture. OFM will certainly provide loads of entertainment, informative talks and daily information on everything you need to know if you want to visit NAMPO Harvest Day this year.”

Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day books a special place on OFM’s annual calendar, with programmes and activities curated to contribute to the larger message of hope and development within the agricultural sector. OFM remains committed to celebrating agriculture and amplifying the voices of those within the industry.
