What happens after the spotlight?
As we look forward to revealing the winner, we look back at the journey of Michel of Ecotutu, our 2025 Agropreneur of the Year.
Since then, his work in cold storage solutions has continued to address one of the sector’s key challenges: post-harvest loss.
His journey reflects an important part of the mission’s value —supporting entrepreneurs not just at a moment in time, but as they grow, adapt, and scale their impact.

Kicking off the week with a look back at the start of the 2025 Horti Trade Mission journey 🌱
As we look ahead to 2026, we’re revisiting the visit to NIHORT during the agrofood fair, where participants saw how research, policy, and practice come together to shape horticulture systems. Platforms like these show how local expertise is turning knowledge into practical solutions.
It’s also a reminder of what the mission is about: creating space for exchange between researchers, businesses, and practitioners to better understand what works and where.

In recent years, a visit to Mile 12 Market offers a closer look at how food systems function every day and how innovations like plastic crates and cold storage are enhancing our food systems.
For trade mission participants, moments like this provide valuable insight into the realities of the market and the opportunities for collaboration across the value chain.
Stay tuned to see where our trade mission will explore this year
