Agrigreat Soiltech's Agrifest is an agricultural festival aimed at supporting small, medium, and micro-enterprises (SMMEs) in the agricultural sector of townships. The event not only celebrates agribusinesses but also provides a platform for small agri-businesses in areas with limited access to established business assistance and services. The primary objective of Agrigreat Agrifest is to offer practical information and resources to the participating attendees.

Research shows that Youth participation in Agriculture is at 21% and further research shows that the low participation rate is due to three major lacks: The lack of access to information

The many barriers of entry into the Agricultural industry,

Thirdly it doesn’t appeal to their interests and find it boring.

Agrifest aims to link a good time with produ

ctive, useful resources.

We have established partnerships with significant small business hubs and former small business owners to provide valuable knowledge and resources to assist them. . As Agrigreat, we have encountered similar challenges in our early days and, therefore, seek to enhance access to such information for SMMEs in rural and township areas. Personally having attended many agri-businesses information sessions hosted in the township, I have found that the information alone is not as practical without the resources. This is why we as Agrigreat felt that an event like this was so important.
