More than 30,000 people are expected to fill up Discovery Farm for the 2024 Ag in Motion Expo in Saskatoon, many from thousands of kilometres away.
It appears to be a very Canadian event, but the expo grounds are also filled with visitors from all over the globe hoping to learn more from some of Canada’s best farmers.
Terefe, a delegate from the Embassy of Ethiopia for Canada, said Ethiopia is looking to learn how to grow the scale of its farms.
“Ethiopia has a population of more than 126 million peoples. So, we have our population at five per cent participating in farming. They are farmers.”
Terefe said he hopes to help get more information about farming technology to his country and its investors so they can create better farms to feed the large Ethiopian population.
“We need commercial farming, and we need technology (like) this to feed all these people. We need technology that especially enhances production yields and crops.”
Terefe said Saskatoon is a beautiful city with better agricultural technology than he’s ever seen.
