Reaching for the stars with the 9th edition of agrofood Nigeria 2024

Following the remarkable success of the 8th edition of agrofood Nigeria in March 2023 (Post show report), the organisers are committed to raising the standards even further.

Their relentless efforts are focused on enhancing every facet of the upcoming 9th edition in March 2024, ensuring an experience that surpasses the already exceptional benchmark set before.

The event, organised by German trade fair specialists fairtrade, will again be held in conjunction with plastprintpack Nigeria from 26 to 28 March 2024 at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, Victoria Island.

Spearheaded by the Honorable Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo, Federal Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, the Honorable Commissioner of Lagos State Ministry of Agriculture, Ruth Abisola Olusanya, and attended by numerous dignitaries from Nigeria and Europe, the exhibition & conference took a very successful course.

And here is what exhibitors may expect.

  • An incredible sustained interest in the exhibitors’ products & solutions on the part of decision-makers from business and politics
  • A very large number of targeted business meetings - these resulted in an 89% exhibitor satisfaction rating in 2023
  • Active participation of key ministers from the new government, both at the Federal and Lagos State levels
  • Spotlight on Milling & Bakery @ agrofood Nigeria 2024 featuring prominent exhibitors from the milling and bakery sector, engaging workshops and live bakery sessions

  • Key learnings from 20+ sessions with 70+ speakers in the top level 3-day conference
  • Great networking

As Africa's largest economy will invest more and more in agrofood solutions, products and technologies, bright times are ahead for all market participants.

Why participate?

Nigeria, with $477bn GDP in 2022, is the largest economy and the most populous country on the African continent, with more than 200 million people, which is expected to double by 2050.

The country is the second largest importer in Africa of plastics processing technology (€143m in 2022); the largest importer of packaging technology (€183m in 2022); and the second largest importer of printing and converting machinery in sub-Saharan Africa. It is therefore a very promising market, both in terms of its current size and its future development.

plastprintpack & agrofood Nigeria bring together, in a single event, the agricultural mechanization, food processing, plastics and paper processing (for packaging and non-packaging), packaging and bottling sectors, and is the most important local exhibition for the above sectors.

The objective of participating in this event is to increase the export opportunities of Italian companies, in an area with strong market potential, but where the assistance of institutions is still essential to approach local operators in the most effective way.

The Netherlands Pavilion

The Netherlands Pavilion is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

South Africa Pavilion

South Africa joins in for the 2024 event with a Department of Agri Western Cape Pavilion featuring more than ten exhibitors.

The Western Cape Department of Agriculture provides a wide range of development, research and support services to the agricultural community in the Western Cape. The agricultural sector stimulates economic growth in the province and plays a major role in creating sustainable job opportunities.

Top level 3-day conference

A top level 3-day conference featuring 20+ sessions and 70+ top-class speakers will run alongside the exhibition.

Due to high demand in 2023, the conference room had been enlarged to 180 seats and equipped with an 11m wide backdrop, including 7m of LED for the best possible presentation quality.

C-level speakers representing market-leading companies and institutions deliver educational and entertaining sessions of the highest quality, promising immediate benefits for the audience in their day-to-day business.

The 2024 MFI Awards on 26 March 

The 2024 MFI Awards will again be hosted alongside agrofood Nigeria and WACCSE  2024. The MFI Awards Ceremony is co-sponsored by the MFI Micronutrient Fortification Index and powered by TechnoServe via a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored initiative, the Technical Assistance Accelerator Program.
