Agri-trade is a construct under the World Agric Week and Expo by Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), which simply entails an Agriculture trade that connects people with agrifood systems. It is critical in delivering sufficient, diversified, and nutritious food to customers globally, and it produces revenue and jobs for farmers, workers, and traders throughout the agricultural and food chain business.

 

According to the news platform of Globe Chambers of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), Agri-trade will provide a wide range of agricultural industry solutions, including assessment of precious agricultural transport of goods, quality management, field inventory confirmation, worldwide advice solutions, and best practices for all aspects of business.

The president of GCCI, Hon.
