Les retombées de la 7ème édition d’AgroTour International : Les entrepreneurs poursuivent leurs restitutions et partagent leurs apprentissages

Restitution of the participants and entrepreneurs of the 7th edition of AgroTour International across Africa

The restitutions of the 7th edition of AgroTour International 2024 continue to roll in across the African continent, testifying to the significant impact of this event on entrepreneurs in the agri-food sector.

The closing of Youth Day in Lubumbashi, Haut-Katanga, was marked by an exceptional activity: the restitution of the participants of the 7th edition of Agrotour International, organized by Hope Land Congo as part of its international program. This event enabled young entrepreneurs and leaders from various African countries to share their experiences and present the benefits gained from their participation in this edition, held in Arusha, Tanzania.

Madame Pascaline, Hope Land Congo’s focal point, opened the session by outlining the activities carried out during Agrotour International. She highlighted the learning opportunities, interactive workshops and numerous networking possibilities offered to the continent’s young entrepreneurs. Her speech was also a call to action, encouraging young people to get more involved and commit to taking part in the next edition of Agrotour.

The enthusiasm was palpable among the young entrepreneurs present, who said they were inspired and motivated to put the ideas they had received into practice. Several of them have already expressed their interest in taking part in the next edition of this not-to-be-missed event.

In Goma, DR Congo, renowned entrepreneur Ms. Mike led a feedback session at the Maarifa Market platform on Saturday August 24. At this event, she enthusiastically shared her experience of the AgroTour held in Arusha, Tanzania. The entrepreneurs present were not only inspired, but also motivated to get more involved in agri-entrepreneurship. “It was a pleasure for me to give this presentation and share what I learned in Arusha. I’m impressed by the interest and motivation of the local entrepreneurs, who are already looking forward to the next edition”, she declared. The exchanges generated a great deal of interest, and several entrepreneurs expressed their desire to take part in the next edition of AgroTour International.

In Cameroon, participant Divine organized a feedback workshop with young people and civil society leaders from his region. The aim of the workshop was to explore ways of creating more entrepreneurial opportunities for young people, particularly those living in crisis situations. Divine shared many of the agri-entrepreneurship insights gained during the AgroTour 2024, including innovative strategies for overcoming the challenges of agricultural entrepreneurship in Africa.

These events testify to the enthusiasm and commitment of AgroTour 2024 participants to contribute to the development of agriculture and entrepreneurship in Africa. “Once again, I would like to thank Hope Land Congo, our partners and all those who made this wonderful adventure possible,” added one of the participants.

The AgroTour International 2024 continues to inspire entrepreneurs across Africa, creating opportunities and strengthening networks of agropreneurs for sustainable development on the continent.
