 U.S.-Africa Agribusiness ForumThis June you’ve got an opportunity to learn more about Africa and investing in agribusiness opportunities there at the Corporate Council on Africa’s 2008 U.S.-Africa Agribusiness Forum. I’ll be there courtesy of our good friends at Novus International which is a gold sponsor company of the Forum. The Forum takes place in Chicago, IL June 25 – 27.

The Forum will bring together the U.S. and African public and private sectors to discuss the minimization of investment risk and identify projects and mechanisms to expand their investment portfolio through agribusiness.

Highlights of the Forum will include industry-specific sessions, panels to address cross-cutting issues, such as finance product innovation, pharmaceutical and biofuel industry growth, carbon trading, production technology, and certification; as well as networking opportunities. Industry experts will share best practices and the latest trends in the field.

Novus InternationalAs an event sponsor, Novus International will host the “Education and Knowledge Building in Agriculture Production” workshop.

“We are pleased to welcome Novus International as a sponsor and supporter of the 2008 U.S.-Africa Agribusiness Forum,” said CCA President Stephen Hayes. “As an industry leader, Novus serves customers across the globe and understands the importance of investing in people and production systems for commercially sustainable growth.
