Rokovia along with its Rwandan partner Owenzo Business Group organized the Slovak-Rwandan Agroforum with aim to present the 25 years of our achievements and experience in the production of amino acid organic fertilizers. Our vision is to improve the food security and self-sufficiency of Rwanda in production of organic products.
We believe that these video conferences will be the driving force of progress in the form of the implementation of the Slovakia-Rwandan Innovative Industrial Park.
