The 2020 Harvest Money Expo will be held on February 14 to 16, leaving at least eleven months for companies and individuals to prepare for the hugely popular event.

Vision Group's Chief Executive Officer, Robert Kabushenga confirmed the dates on Thursday, shortly after an agreement signing ceremony with Henk Jan Bakker, the Ambassador of the Netherlands to Uganda.

Netherlands has committed sh300m in sponsorship for two projects: Harvest Money Expo and Best Farmers competition for the next three years (2019-2021).

"I thank the Royal Dutch Embassy for believing in us and trusting us with their money. The projects have had such an impact on society and a vote of confidence from the public," Kabushenga stated.

Ambassador Bakker said the new round of funding was built on the success of the previous projects which have attracted both Dutch agricultural expertise and companies to Uganda.

"The projects have contributed to the development of agribusiness in Uganda and brought in more Ducth companies. The response has been very positive," he stated.

Next year's Harvest Money Expo will be the fourth edition. The last edition was held last month from February 15 to 17 and it featured renowned agricultural experts and exhibitors.
