Registration has officially opened for the 31st Commonwealth Agriculture Conference (CAC), set to take place from November 1-5, 2026, at the Century City Conference Centre in Cape Town, South Africa.
The announcement, made on November 3, 2025, marks the beginning of what promises to be a landmark event for agricultural innovation and collaboration across the Commonwealth.
A Platform for Global Agricultural Dialogue
Hosted by Agri-Expo in partnership with the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (RASC), the conference will unite agricultural leaders, policymakers, researchers, farmers, and agribusiness innovators from across the Commonwealth nations.
This year’s theme, “Opportunities of Change in a Connected World: From South Africa to the World,” reflects the urgent need for collaborative solutions to global agricultural challenges.
The conference provides a unique opportunity for delegates to explore emerging trends, share best practices, and forge partnerships that can drive sustainable agricultural development across diverse geographical and economic contexts.
Early Bird Registration Incentives
Organizers are encouraging early registration by offering special early bird rates available until April 30, 2026.
In a move to promote greater African participation, the conference is also offering regional rates specifically designed for delegates from South Africa and other African countries, recognizing the continent’s vital role in global food security and agricultural innovation.
These pricing structures aim to ensure broad representation from across the Commonwealth, particularly from developing nations where agricultural transformation is most critical.
Why This Conference Matters
The Commonwealth Agriculture Conference has long served as a crucial forum for addressing the agricultural challenges facing member nations.
With climate change, food security, technological disruption, and sustainable farming practices at the forefront of global concerns, the 2026 gathering comes at a pivotal moment for the sector.
Cape Town’s selection as the host city is particularly significant, as South Africa continues to be a leader in agricultural innovation on the African continent.
The country’s diverse agricultural landscape—from large-scale commercial farming to smallholder operations—provides an ideal backdrop for discussions on inclusive and sustainable agricultural development.
How to Register
Agricultural professionals, researchers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders interested in attending can register through the official conference websites at www.rasc2026.com or www.agriexpo.co.za.
With over a year until the event, early registrants will benefit not only from reduced rates but also from priority access to workshops, networking sessions, and other conference activities.
As the agricultural sector grapples with unprecedented challenges and opportunities, the 31st Commonwealth Agriculture Conference promises to be an essential gathering for anyone committed to shaping the future of farming and food systems across the Commonwealth and beyond.
