The international reputation of World Ag Expo drew 1,132 registered attendees from 63 nations by the end of the day Wednesday, and 50 exhibitors from 13 nations, including China, Turkey, Netherlands, Austria and India.A farm family from Ghana was enjoying the hospitality of the International Business Center (IBC) on Wednesday, resting after their first tour of the show grounds and planning their strategy for the second tour.
Patriarch of the farming operation, AA Salam Akate, attended World Ag Expo previously, and this time brought his family, partners in the diversified operation. They grow maize and citrus, and have livestock and poultry. They were impressed by the size of ag equipment on display and were enjoying learning how to grow and harvest more efficiently – and hoping to purchase equipment.
A committee of 127 volunteers offers translation services in about 20 different languages and dialects.
Exhibitors are encouraged to visit the IBC to take advantage of the trade lead exchange board and meet prospective international buyers and dealers. The IBC is located on the second floor of Heritage Complex.
