Visitor Information - 2026
Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day is one of the largest agricultural exhibitions under private ownership in the southern hemisphere and it takes place annually, just outside of the town of Bothaville, in the Free State province of South Africa. The first NAMPO Harvest Day was held in 1967, on the farm, Donkerhoek, near Bloemfontein and was attended by 200 producers. Thereafter the Harvest Day was held on various farms until the size of the event started necessitating a more permanent venue. In 1974 the NAMPO Harvest Day was therefore established on a permanent terrain outside Bothaville, which is today known as NAMPO Park.
Exhibition Information
The growing number of exhibitors at the NAMPO Harvest Day agricultural Trade Show can be attributed to a number of factors. Foremost is the positive sales reaction experienced at the Show. The unique demonstration programme that allows interactive demonstrations on stands in addition to the static exhibits.
