6th African Union (AU) – European Union (EU) Agriculture Ministerial Conference

📅 27 June 2025
Rome, Italy

In the framework of the Africa-EU Partnership, the sixth AU-EU agriculture ministerial conference will be centered around strengthening the collaboration and addressing current challenges facing both Continents’ agri-food systems.

The conference will discuss in depth four topics that will feed into the overall theme, with good potential for a concrete EU-AU partnership. The four topics will cover:

  • Investment and Financing in agri-food value chains
  • Sustainable Practices and Climate Resilience
  • Research, Innovation, and Technology
  • Market Access and Trade Facilitation

AU and EU Ministers of Agriculture, together with representatives of other international organisations will convene in the afternoon plenary session to take stock of the thematic discussions and pave the way for the future cooperation.
