Drawing closer to Nampo

Agricultural Trade Show

For those of you who do not know what the Nampo Show is all about, Nampo Harvest Day is one of the largest privately organised and owned exhibitions in the world and the largest show of agricultural ma-chinery and livestockin the southern hemisphere.  It takes place annually out-side Bothaville in the Free State, Republic of South Africa.

Organized by Grain South Africa (GSA), it provides a unique opportunity to all manufactureres and distrubutors of agrigultural machinery, products and services to exhibit as well as demonstrate their vast range of products to their targeted customers - the farmers of South Africa.

Controlled practical demonstrations of machinery and implements are an unique feature of the Show which allows farmers to view demonstrations of an exhaustive range of machinery and implements.

The first NAMPO Agricultural Show dates back to 1967.   The first show took place on the farm Donkerhoek outside Bloemfontien as was attended by 200 farmers.  From there it moved to various farms until its size and growth demanded a permanent home.  This was established in 1974 on a venue outside Bothaville, on what is known today as NAMPO Park.

The 1974 Harvest Day attracted 32 exhibitors on an area of 8 hectares, whilst practical demonstrations took place on a 30 hectare area.

Today the NAMPO  Agricultural Trade Show draws more than 500 exhibitors, spread over 24 hectares and the demonstration area covers 80 hectares.

This show is dynamic, and Central Milk will be there once again.  We are currently busy with getting our production complete for the show and are getting realy excited as the time draws closer. Our aim is to reach the Dairy Industry aswell, and our stunning range of Braais will be on display aswell.  We invite you from near a far to come and join us at the NAMPO Agricultural Trade Show,  Come visit us and let us show you how we can help you.
