Agritech Expo – Zambia

Agritech Expo Zambia is a business-to-business platform for agricultural professionals, from small-scale farmers to commercial enterprises, to engage and conduct business with some of the world’s leading suppliers to the agricultural industry. From live crop trials and machinery demonstrations to technical and practical workshops for emerging farmers and VIP business lounges for commercial players, Agritech Expo is simply the only business event servicing the needs of the entire agri-value chain in Zambia and its neighbouring countries.

This was Monotec’s first year at the Agritech Expo

Nampo Harvest Day – Bothaville

Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day is one of the largest agricultural exhibitions under private ownership in the southern hemisphere and it takes place annually, just outside of the town of Bothaville, in the Free State province of South Africa. Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day enables producers and other role players in the agricultural industry to experience the latest technology and products on offer in the farming industry first-hand and on one terrain.  The products and services that are displayed by the more than 650 exhibitors, establish the NAMPO Harvest Day as a diversified trade exhibition, which offers producers the opportunity to compare a wide variety of products and services and in so doing, enables them to make informed decisions. Grain SA strives to keep the NAMPO Harvest Day trade oriented as an agricultural and trade exhibition with a specific focus on agriculture and not on entertainment and the exhibition of flea market items. Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day is dynamic and each year the organisers strive to keep pace with the changing needs, requirements and expectations of producers and role players in the agricultural sector.  

Come and visit us on stand No. 115 opposite the Nampo Hall.

Royal Agricultural Show

Pietermaritzburg’s Royal Agricultural Show is the continent’s largest mixed exhibition incorporating a fully-fledged agricultural component – this annual ten-day event is well-known for its agricultural component, including the exposition of some of the country’s finest livestock and agricultural equipment but also a range of ancillary activities and displays covering the industrial, commercial and service sectors within the province.

Full of contrasts, ‘The Royal’, with its unique ambience abutting the City with its own stream, is all about old friends, new introductions, long established traditions and stimulating fresh ideas. A truly pleasant and profitable experience for participants and visitors alike.

Come visit us at the Royal Agricultural Show on stand No. BD-30B

ADMA AgriShow, Thorn Park Polo Ground, Mazowe, Zimbabwe

After many years of inactivity, ADMA as an association decided it would be good idea to hold a show for their membership and to attract their specific target market ie the farming community, over a short period 2-3 days modelled on Nampo in South Africa and the Agritech show in Zambia.

The initiative behind our Agrishow was an opportunity once a year for all Industry Players to exhibit static displays and live demonstrations of tractors and equipment, as an opportunity for our farmers to compare tractor brands, agricultural machinery and anything else a farmer would require side by side.

The live demonstrations would be an opportunity for the industry to promote their products, highlighting special features and cost saving advantages or concepts working on identical soil types and conditions.

As a whole the show offers a unique opportunity for farmers to build relationships with: Machinery and equipment suppliers; Fertilizer and Agrochemical companies; seed producers; Irrigation specialists; financial institutions and many more Agricultural supply companies.

Arlington Farmers Day

Again, we have been present at the Arlington Farmer’s Day took place in April 2016. There was great interest in the Monosem No-Till planter as well as the Carter Strip-Till machine.

Our 8-row planter was equipped with :

• hydraulic drive for variable seed & fertiliser rates
• electronic ISOBUS precision kit with seed monitor
• 12″ touch screen where various application can be visible at the same time
• a camera which enables the tractor driver to see the rear of the planter

Our 4-row Carter was equipped with :

• trip tine set to 32cm
• rear rolling basket
• dry fertiliser
• ground drive

The weather was fine and the organisers have made this a very pleasant event.
Many thanks to the Arlington Farmer’s association.

No Till conference

This year’s No Till Conference held in Bergville from the 8th until the 10th of September 2016 was again a great success. With huge interest in the Conference hall to even more interest in the Demo Field the No Till Culture is gaining more and more regard each year.

Once again the Monosem No Till planter proved formidable in the tough dry conditions experienced most year’s during the No Till Conference.

The particular six row Monosem planter on display and demonstrated was fitted with the all new Monosem NXM row units boasting an even tougher parallel linkage coupled with the ‘tested and proven’ high precision pneumatic metering units.

With the Monosem’s fully auto reset no till tine and coulter farmers need not worry anymore about fertiliser placement and tine penetration in the toughest conditions.

Val Farmers day – Greylingstad (Mpumalanga)

The first Val-farmers day was held in September 1995. It was on Oudehoutspruit, Mr. Rodney Reynols farm near Standerton.

The Val-farmers day is a success story based on hard work and cooperation. The organisers want to attempt to bring back demonstrations like in the olden days.
