Syngenta serves a story of food at NAMPO
Submitted by: Yolandi North
“Conversations at NAMPO centre on input costs, crop protection, new technology and implements, the weather, commodity prices and all the other elements that make farming so challenging and rewarding, but the bottom line is food on the table. That’s the message behind the Syngenta Farmer’s Kitchen at NAMPO from 14-17 May 2024.” Talking about the eating experience that awaits NAMPO visitors is Christian Giesel, Head of Marketing for Syngenta South Africa.
The Syngenta Farmer’s Kitchen will be ready to slake the thirst and satisfy the hunger of guests from early morning till late afternoon with modern boerekos served in harvest-table style. Start the day with a cup of real coffee and a farm rusk, but be careful not to spoil your appetite thereafter, because between 11:00 and 16:00 a feast of dishes will be served.
From butter-chicken sosaties and freshly baked flatbreads with pulled beef, to lamb rib with Free State mieliepap and pork nachos – choosing will be a challenge! The drinks menu includes 0% beer, rooibos iced tea, fruit and vegetable juices and non-alcoholic G&T.
The menu was developed by Landbou Boerekos editor, Arina du Plessis, and the restaurant-quality dishes are prepared in collaboration with the Roots Chef Academy in Potchefstroom.
“Our farmer’s kitchen in the southwestern section of the NAMPO site, close to the 4x4 track,” says Giesel. “The Syngenta stand is close by and this year we offer a free nozzle-testing service. The idea is to help growers get maximum value from crop-protection applications so that we can put more food on consumers’ tables while using less resources.”
The invitation is clear: join us for food and drinks, have your nozzles tested and kuier like only farm folk can!
