Welcome to IBMA 2023
In 175 non-developed countries around the world, over 40% of the population barely survives on less than $2 per day and depends on agriculture for its livelihood. And, the number of farmers living in poverty is still on the rise.
That is why to advance the agricultural sector in such economies, we must address the root problem they face; a lack of dedicated business models that can leverage the agro-technologies, funds and other resources that are available in the agro sector today.
I therefore invite you to the International Conference on Business Models in Agriculture (IBMA) 2023, a first of its kind and an incredible milestone in the history of agriculture and of non-developed economies and their farmers.
By attending IBMA 2023, you will cement a life-long legacy as part of a movement that will transform the agro sector in your country from poverty to prosperity based on effective business models, not exploitation or charity.
I look forward to seeing you in Kigali, Rwanda from March 27th – 29th 2023.
Dr. Nimrod Israely

About IBMA
REORGANISING THE AGRO SECTOR: FROM IMPORT TO EXPORT-ORIENTED AGRO SECTOR AND FROM AGRICULTURE TO AGRO-INDUSTRY
The IBMA was created to enable an open discussion and sharing of ideas. This, in the spirit of an open lab and disruptive business models that will allow rapid significant changes that non-developed economies desperately need.
This conference is in honour of the late Prof. Clayton Christenson, who showed how the use of disruptive innovative models could accelerate economic development in any industry including the agro-industry.
IBMA Organisers
