A recent agro-processing workshop hosted by Agrinouri brought together key stakeholders to empower and support agro-processors. The event provided valuable insights and resources to players in the agricultural sector.

The workshop delved into the fundamentals of agro-processing, covering topics such as food preservation methods, essential equipment, and practical demonstrations. Attendees had the opportunity to observe Agrinouri’s simple jam-making process, highlighting the accessibility of agro-processing for small-scale producers.

Representatives from organisations such as the Small Enterprise Development Agency (SEDA) and the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development shared their expertise, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas.

Lesego Seyama, a Senior Manager for Commission Business at Joburg Market, delivered a keynote address emphasizing the market’s role in supporting agro-processors. She outlined the extensive facilities and support services available to businesses in the agricultural value chain.

The event also focused on critical topics like opportunities for agro-processors, quality control, food safety, and compliance standards. By collaborating with industry experts and supporting small businesses, Joburg Market continues to drive innovation, sustainability, and the development of South Africa’s agricultural landscape.
