With less than 125 days to go, Joburg Market is gearing up to host the World Union of Wholesale Markets (WUWM) conference from 14 to 16 May 2025. The event will take place at the Sandton Convention Centre.
The WUWM conference will convene leaders from the global agricultural sector to elevate Joburg Market’s profile as South Africa’s largest fresh produce market. It will address critical issues affecting the agricultural industry worldwide, including food security, sustainability, and the future of market management.
Focusing on bolstering South Africa’s role as a leader in wholesale and retail markets, the conference aims to:
- Explore strategies for expanding agricultural trade.
- Enhance supply chain efficiencies.
- Promote innovative solutions to meet evolving market demands.
Delegates will benefit from networking opportunities, the exchange of best practices, and discussions on fostering investments that drive economic growth, create jobs, and optimise supply chains. The event will also offer Joburg Market valuable insights into international trends and foster collaborations with global thought leaders to further refine its operations.
In alignment with South Africa’s goals, the conference will highlight advances in wholesale market innovation, including digitalisation and sustainability. Discussions will explore the incorporation of technologies such as automation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence to modernise market operations.
Themed “The African Edition: Shaping the Future of Fresh Produce Markets through Sustainability, Innovation, and Inclusivity”, the 2025 WUWM conference will be a platform to showcase Joburg Market’s commitment to driving sustainability and innovation in the agricultural sector.
