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.

WACCSE again co-located with agrofood Nigeria as fairtrade & OTACCWA deepen their cooperation

Nigeria investing heavily in food, beverage and packaging technology - Facts & figures on the fast-growing Nigerian market

With imports of food & packaging technology of €363 million in 2022, Nigeria is Africa's second largest importer, after South Africa with €381 million and ahead of Egypt with €319 million. (VDMA 2023)
The enormous population growth from 206 million in 2022 to 411 million in 2050 demands high sustainable investments in Nigeria’s food industry.
Sharp increase: Nigeria's food production has grown by 39.6% in recent years, from €26bn in 2016 to €36.3bn in 2020 and is expected to rise by 48% between 2021 and 2024, from €42.3bn to €62.6bn. (Euromonitor International)
With food imports worth US$7.375bn in 2021 (WTO), Nigeria remains one of Africa‘s biggest food importers – despite high investments in local food production.
