Now in its sixth edition, the Mzansi Young Farmers Indaba is worth travelling for! Every year, young farmers and agro-processors board buses and taxis, catch flights and travel hundreds of kilometres to connect, learn and unlock opportunities. In 2027, it’s your turn to be part of it.

The Mzansi Young Farmers Indaba returns for its sixth edition on Wed. 31 March and Thu. 1 April 2027 in Hatfield, Pretoria, bringing together the people growing, financing, supplying and shaping the future.

Here’s why this is an event worth travelling for:

  • Nearly 2 000 attendees over two days in 2026, cementing #FFMIndaba’s place as Africa’s leading gathering for young farmers, agro-processors and agripreneurs.

  • A truly African gathering, bringing together delegates from across South Africa and more than 12 countries to exchange ideas, share experiences and build connections across borders.

  • A marketplace of opportunity, where exhibitors, agribusinesses, financial institutions, technology providers and development organisations connect directly with the next generation of agricultural entrepreneurs.

  • Real conversations, real connections, from access to finance and markets to new technologies, practical farming knowledge and partnerships that extend well beyond the event.


And now,
2027 is calling! Bigger, bolder, and packed with even more opportunities, this is where South Africa’s next-generation farmers and agribusiness leaders unite.

Mark your calendars. The future of African agriculture starts here. Don’t miss it!

The next chapter of the Mzansi Young Farmers Indaba is about to get even bigger! Expect the who's who of agriculture to be there, from top-tier experts to game-changing CEOs. If 2026 was anything to go by, you're in for something massive.

  • Big brands, bigger opportunities: The indaba is the go-to platform for brands to flex their support for the next generation of farmers. In 2026, we saw massive investments and partnerships come to life. 2027 is set to open even more doors for funding, collaborations, and real business growth.
  • Masterclasses that matter: From enterprise development to cutting-edge biotech, mechanisation, and more, 2027 will offer even deeper dives into the innovations and strategies driving the agricultural sector forward. These sessions are designed to give you the edge you need to take your farming career to the next level.
  • Empowering communities: Expect powerful projects aimed at transforming local agri-communities, giving new-era farmers the tools and connections to thrive. The indaba is all about creating real, lasting impact.
