CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
The 2nd International Contract Farming Conference (ICCF 2025) will provide a global platform to address the key challenges and opportunities in contract farming with a particular emphasis on expanding market access. The conference is designed to provide a dynamic platform for growers producers market experts and agribusiness leaders to engage in meaningful discussions on how to exploit market opportunities through contracts. The conference will address the ongoing and emerging market challenges encountered by contract farmers in various agricultural value chains.
During the 1st edition of ICCF 2025 farmers identified challenges on the lack of enforcement of contracts in terms of meeting market demands. This year’s conference will examine strategies to improve market opportunities for contract farmers domestically and internationally such as sharing critical market information overcoming barriers to market entry leveraging trade policies and utilizing technology-driven solutions to connect farmers with buyers.
ICCF 2025 will discuss practical strategies to connect farmers to domestic and international markets by addressing buyer expectations on the one hand and strategies for strengthening local supply chains to meet product volumes on the other hand. Further the conference will explore the roles of government policies and industry associations in expanding effective market integration for contract farmers in the domestic and international markets through timely information data sharing and negotiations.
A key highlight of the conference will be the Spotlight Sessions where growers and buyers will participate in small group discussions centered around various markets and agriculture value chains.
