On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to the AFSTA 26th Annual Congress. This Special Event celebrating AFSTA will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, from March 23 to 25, 2026, set against the backdrop of the iconic Table Mountain and the vibrant city.
The annual AFSTA congresses offer great opportunities for seed industry stakeholders to network and trade, as well as to share information on the latest policy and technology developments that could affect seed trade activities in Africa.
We take pride in the fact that our congresses attract several high-profile delegates from Africa and around the world. The 2026 Congress, which is themed «Empowering Africa’s Future, One Seed at a Time », will be another exceptional opportunity to market high-quality products and technologies.
We invite you to maximize your visibility by sponsoring and showcasing your products and services through booking an exhibition booth, reserving exclusive trading tables, advertising in the African Seed Magazine, and placing a paid advert on AFSTA’s homepage (www.afsta.org)
Apart from the seed industry, South Africa should be on everyone’s travel list. Its stunning tourist attractions, vibrant culture, diverse colors, and reputation for excellent hospitality make it an attractive destination.
Cape Town is not only one of the continent’s most stunning and accessible cities, but it has also been recognized by global magazines as the best city in the world and the top destination for travelers.
Welcome to Cape Town! Welcome to the AFSTA Annual Congress 2026 and enjoy celebrating AFSTA and the hospitality of South Africa. May it be a fruitful one for all of us.
