In response to the agricultural industry’s challenges to find qualified and experienced young agriculturists and farmers, and graduates’ struggle to find entry-level jobs or internships, AgriCAREERConnect is an annual career event for the industry to showcase career opportunities in agriculture and interact with students.

Six univer- sities will be participating: Pretoria, Stellenbosch, Free State, Northwest, Limpopo, and KwaZulu-Natal on 19-21 October, and the focus areas are horticulture & crops, animal production and integrated disciplines. Visit www.agrijob.co.za/agricareerconnect for more information and to get links to attend as member of the industry at no cost.

The South African Pork Producers’ Organisation (SAPPO) coordinates industry interventions and collaboratively manages risks in the value chain to enable the sustainability and profitability of pork producers in South Africa.
