This delegation visit will enable Danish companies to meet local key partners and potential customers\, display their products and services\, and gain first-hand knowledge about the Tanzanian agribusiness industry and market. \nKey aspects of Tanzanian agribusiness: \n\nThe agricultural sector in Tanzania accounts for a significant part of the country’s GDP and export earnings. With the agricultural sector employing approximately 70% of population\, the sector plays a crucial part for the country’s economy.\nTanzania is very close to its target of lower-middle-income status – partly through serious reform of the agricultural sector from subsistence farming to commercial farming. The sector is now more competitive and profitable.\nUrbanisation is high\, the middle class is growing and demand for agricultural production increasing.\nAll of the above offer great opportunities for Danish companies. The demand for high quality production and processing equipment\, cold-chain facilities\, packaging and storing facilities is high\, and the need for quality control remains a challenge for Tanzanian agricultural exports.\n\nWhat is unique about this mission?\nThe delegates will have an opportunity to meet and explore synergies with government representatives and industry organizations as well as one-on-one meeting with relevant commercial partners in Tanzania. Moreover\, the delegates will have an opportunity to meet and explore synergies with implementing partners of the Danish development programmes in Tanzania. \nWho should join?\nThe delegation is open to participation from companies working within the agribusiness industry\, e.g.: \n\nFood technology and food solutions\nFood processing technology\nAgricultural materials\nAgro-services\, machinery\, equipment\nBiomass energy & solar\nSmall-scale irrigation\nQuality control and food safety\n\n Your benefits\n\nGet to know the Tanzanian market for agriculture and agro-industry technology\nExplore possible opportunities with our Tanzanian partners as well as Danida business instruments (eg. Danida Innovation and Business Explorer or Danida Green Business Partnerships).  \nMeet the right stakeholders including decision makers\, relevant association as well as importers\, factories and manufacturers of the agro-industry.\nParticipate in tailor-made site visits and visits to partners.\nPromote your company in Tanzania and expand your network\nLearn about best practices in Tanzania and the region.\n\nProgramme\nThe below programme is preliminary and will be finalised one month before the delegation. \nMonday 24 February (Arrival) \n\nArrival\, airport in Dar es Salaam.\nHotel check-In and introduction to participants and the delegation program.\n\nTuesday 25 February \n\nIntroduction – opening at the Embassy.\nPresentations by key actors from government and industry associations on Tanzanian agribusiness.\nMeetings with key industry players incl.

This delegation visit will enable Danish companies to meet local key partners and potential customers\, display their products and services\, and gain first-hand knowledge about the Ugandan agribusiness industry and market. \nKey aspects of Ugandan agribusiness: \n\nThe agricultural sector in Uganda accounts for a significant part of the country’s GDP and export earnings. With the agricultural sector employing approximately 70% of population\, the sector plays a crucial part for the country’s economy.\nUganda is very close to its target of lower-middle-income status – partly through serious reform of the agricultural sector from subsistence farming to commercial farming. The sector is now more competitive and profitable.\nUrbanisation is high\, the middle class is growing and demand for agricultural production increasing.\n\n\nAll of the above offer great opportunities for Danish companies. The demand for high quality production and processing equipment\, cold-chain facilities\, packaging and storing facilities is high\, and the need for quality control remains a challenge for Ugandan agricultural exports.\n\nClick here to read more. \nCo-financed by URL:https://www.access2innovation.com/event/business-delegation-to-uganda/ LOCATION:Uganda ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.access2innovation.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Delegationstur-2024-.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Copenhagen:20240209T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Copenhagen:20240209T101500 DTSTAMP:20260502T110839 CREATED:20240122T090649Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240208T141301Z UID:12091-1707471000-1707473700@www.access2innovation.com SUMMARY:Virtual A2i Talk: All you need to know about Uganda in 2024: trade missions\, business forums\, and A2i support in general DESCRIPTION:Welcome to our free Virtual A2i Talk. \n\nWhat you need to know about Uganda in 2024!
