The development of horticulture is key to Africa food quality (nutrition and safety). Horticulture has the potential to settle new ways of producing and consuming. This is why AAHC will be about unlocking the potential of a resilient Horticulture sector in Africa.

The development of Horticulture is one of the main tools that can help leverage the increase of productivity and competitiveness in Africa and strengthen its contribution to the regional wellbeing and reduce dependency on food imports.

​

Unlocking the potential of a resilient Horticulture in Africa is the theme of the fifth AAHC, with the objectives to discuss and promote the huge potential of African Horticulture. The event will provide professionals of horticulture, researchers, young scientists and entrepreneurs, with a platform where they can share the results of research, applications and latest innovations as well as build a network of technical cooperation between professionals of Horticulture throughout Africa and the rest of the world. Also, youth and early career horticulturists will have ample opportunity to interact with the experienced ones.
