Welcome

Agri-Expo is an agricultural and related organisation that is committed to promoting the image of agriculture in the Western Cape.

The Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society was established in 1831 and presented agricultural shows in Rosebank and Goodwood. Since 1996, the society's shows, training, expos and sponsorships carry the Agri-Expo logo.

The Society is continuously involved in the wine and dairy industries, supports the annual presentation of shows in the country side by member show societies and are regularly contracted by TBA to organise equestrian sales and shows on their behalf. Agri-Expo also supports a variety of projects to emphasise the importance of the youth being involved in agriculture. This is to name only a few. See “activities” and visit the Society’s other websites linked to this home page.
