We are pleased to inform you of an important international event that aligns with our shared goals of strengthening seed systems and agricultural innovation across the continent: the India-Africa Seed Summit, taking place from 23rd to 25th August 2025 in Hyderabad, India.
AFSTA, as a leading organization committed to advancing the seed industry across Africa, continues to play a critical role in promoting high-quality seed production, accessibility, and agricultural resilience. Through our partnerships with policymakers, researchers, and industry players, we strive to support the development of robust seed systems tailored to Africa’s diverse needs.
In pursuit of strengthening global collaboration, AFSTA has partnered with the Indian Chamber of Food and Agriculture (ICFA) to co-host this strategic summit.
The India-Africa Seed Summit aims to:
