The theme of International Conference on Business Models in Agriculture 2024 was “Reshaping Agribusiness Models for Building Prosperous Rural Communities”.

IBMA 2024 offers a unique opportunity to actively contribute to a transformational shift that redirects the trajectory of struggling economies towards organised and prosperous agricultural communities. Through collaboration, innovation, and shared commitment, we aim to rewrite the narrative of poverty into one of empowerment and self-sufficiency in agriculture.

The conference united a diverse assembly of more than 600 participants, including prominent government officials, respected academic experts in business and agriculture, leading Agritech enterprises, innovative researchers, NGOs committed to change in the agriculture sector, dedicated farmers and farmer's leaders, forward-thinking investors, dynamic entrepreneurs, and ambitious startups.
