The B2B event, which will be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from June 10-12, is considered to be the continent’s most influential when it comes to F&B sourcing and innovation.

With a large number of people coming from abroad, and showcasing 15 international pavilions, the Africa Food Show is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for African businesses looking to tap into global markets.

According to the African Development Bank, the African F&B market is expected to reach US$1 trillion by 2030, on the back of rapid economic and urban growth on the continent.

In support of this development and the needs that arise from it, dmg events in partnership with the Dubai World Trade Centre, are launching the Africa Food Show as part of the highly regarded Gulfood series.

The Africa Food Show will build on the success of Gulfood - the world’s largest F&B exhibition in Dubai, as well as the acclaimed Saudi Food Show.

“The Africa Food Show will highlight the untapped potential of the continent and help businesses discover the myriad opportunities that exist in the local and international F&B sector.

“By highlighting trends and challenges, the event will help provide a roadmap to elevate Africa’s offerings to the global stage,” said vice-president of dmg events South Africa, Joshua Low.
