It is with gratitude that we look back on a very successful NAMPO Cape 2019. For the 435 exhibitors spread over the 480 available exhibition spaces, the upgraded parking areas as well as the increased number of kiosks, these three days were a highlight on the Cape agricultural calendar and definitely worth a visit.
Over the three show days, 20 250 visitors attended NAMPO Cape. This figure exceeded the organizers' expectations. Primarily it is a business show and the positive feedback from exhibitors on successful business transactions remains the most accurate measure of success. Thursday, 5 September was the most popular day with close to 9 000 visitors through the gates.
New additions to the show, including the large television screens on which visitors could follow the popular Nation-in-Conversation program streamed directly from the studios, were a huge hit. Equally popular were the tractors and trailers that transported visitors and offered tired feet a well-deserved rest. The beautiful floral exhibition was truly an experience and captivated young and old, while the daily ladies program encouraged and entertained the women.
Planning for NAMPO Cape 2020 has already started, with the dates 8-11 September 2020 at Bredasdorp Park, confirmed. Simultaneously, the 2020 Merino Classic was awarded to NAMPO Cape with the promise to showcase some of the best merinos in South Africa under one roof. The future involvement of other organised agricultural bodies, including Vinpro, will continue to grow and the vegetable industry will enter the show as a newcomer. With these, exciting prospects and future changes, NAMPO Cape 2020 promises to exceed each and every one’s expectations - indeed this agricultural exhibition in the South.
Applications for exhibitors wishing to become part of NAMPO Cape 2020, open 1 March 2020. Application forms and further information are available on www.nampo.co.za or www.nampokaap.co.za
