Food Nigeria provides the largest platform for both international and regional food and beverage companies to meet, network and establish business ties in Africa’s largest economy – Nigeria.
The exhibition hosts more than 150 international companies across 2,000 sqm of exhibition space within the Eco Convention Centre from 18-20 May 2016.
According to the World Trade Organization (WTO), Nigerian food imports reached $5.740 billion in 2013, compared to $5.22 billion in 2012. This figure is projected to grow at 20% per annum by 2020. This level of expenditure will inevitably put a strain on resources, and in an attempt to reduce expenditure, The National Agency for Food & Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has recently highlighted a nationwide initiative within Nigeria to increase food production and exports.
Food Nigeria provides the platform for international food and beverage companies to gain entry into this lucrative market, and for domestic companies to grow and develop their networks across the region.
The Food Nigeria conferences will discuss major topics and issues including:
- Supply chain management
- Food technology
- Retail innovation
The conferences are free-to-attend and attract Government officials, key decision-makers and market leaders looking to gain insight from both local and international experts.
Attached are photos of the first day of the event.
