BUAN Farmers Market Expands Opportunities for Local Producers. After a successful debut in December 2024, the Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN) is gearing up for the next Farmers Market on March 2, 2025. This initiative provides a space for local farmers and artisans to showcase fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and exchange ideas with the community.
The market helps connect producers directly with consumers, fostering relationships that benefit both sides. By creating this platform, BUAN aims to strengthen the agricultural sector, encourage entrepreneurship, and support food security efforts.
The event also promotes knowledge-sharing among farmers and vendors, enabling discussions on market challenges and opportunities for growth. In addition to commerce, the market highlights Botswana’s agricultural heritage and craftsmanship, ensuring these traditions continue for future generations.
BUAN has plans to expand the market by welcoming more vendors and exploring ways to improve accessibility. The university remains dedicated to supporting local producers while educating the public about the benefits of locally sourced goods.
The upcoming Farmers Market is expected to be a dynamic event, celebrating innovation, tradition, and economic growth within Botswana’s agricultural landscape.
