SENWES ONCE AGAIN PART OF
NAMPO HARVEST DAY
The much anticipated Nampo Harvest Day takes place from 14 – 17 May at Nampo Park
near Bothaville again this year and, as from day one of the event, as was the case 53
years ago, Senwes will be part of the action. Grain SA, organisers of the premier event on
the country's agri-calendar, are hoping to exceed last year’s record attendance of 82 817!

the Senwes group flag at their
stall, which last year received a
silver award for innovative and
unique layout. Visitors can again look
forward to receiving expert advice on the
procurement, handling and storage of
grain. Be sure to visit the stall to not miss
out.
The Nampo Harvest Day administration
manager, Wim Venter, says they are
preparing for about 770 exhibitors. “We’re
hoping for good weather and that all our
exhibitors will enjoy good business sales
throughout the 4 days.” Visitors can look
forward to some new additions this year,

NATION IN CONVERSATION
The Senwes-initiated agricultural talk
show, Nation in Conversation, will again
be broadcast live from the Nampo
Harvest Day with at least two recordings
a day over the 4-day period. The show,
which has taken the agri-discussion
mainstream with media partners like
the Mail and Guardian, News24, eNCA,
RSG, 702 Talk Radio, City Press and
Business Day, as well as the traditional
agri-press, will again focus on topical
issues such as transformation, communal
land, agriculture after the election, the
deterioration of the platteland, successful
financial models in unstable times and the
future of agriculture. As in the past, the
discussion panels will reflect agriculture’s
foremost thought leaders on the different
topics. For the full schedule of topics,
hosts and panel members, please visit

RETAIL
Senwes' retail partner, Hinterland,
will host its very popular store on site
selling outdoor, camping and arms and
ammunition merchandise to mention but a
few. Also make sure that you engage with
the Hinterland experts on animal, irrigation
and fuel solutions.
Senwes looks forward to seeing you at
Harvest Day 2019!
