The Animal Feed Manufacturers Association (AFMA) is proud to host its 12th Animal Feed Conference, AFMA Forum, from 8 to 10 September 2026 at Sun City, South Africa. The 2026 theme, “The Feed Factor – The Chain That Feeds a Nation”, highlights the central role of feed manufacturing in national food security. Decisions within the feed sector influence animal protein supply, food affordability and safety, trade competitiveness, and system resilience. Feed is no longer a supporting function; it is a stabilising force across the broader food economy.
