Kelowna’s agricultural prowess will be on full display later this month when a large delegation from Kasugai, Japan pays a visit.

The agricultural-themed expo will feature local orchardists, water managers, honey producers, vintners and brewers.

Table-top displays will be augmented by workshops on Canadian export regulations, sterile insect release programs, honey production, cherry and fruit growing and the Agricultural Land Commission.

The Japanese delegates will also present workshops on water conservation and the growing and production of cactus-related products.

This will be one of the highlighted events for the 51-member delegates, visitors and students from Kasugai, Kelowna’s sister city.

The delegation will also be in the city for celebrations surrounding the 30th anniversary of the opening of Kasugai Gardens, next to city hall.

The agricultural expo is scheduled for Aug. 23 at the Kelowna Golf and Country Club. It begins at 3 p.m. and the general public is welcome to attend.
