    AGCO has created the AGCO Africa Summit as a platform for international dialogue promoting agricultural development and mechanisation in Africa. This year the Summit emphasises sustainable and inclusive agriculture. The summit invites experts to discuss the challenges of feeding the world and to propose solutions for improving agriculture and related value chain businesses throughout Africa. Presidents and ministers of African nations, economists, academia, NGOs and executives of multinational companies join the conference in Berlin every year to discuss Africa's significant role in addressing global food security.
