About the event
What is Food Africa?
Food Africa positions itself as Africa's largest international food and beverage trade exhibition. Manufacturers, exporters and suppliers present packaged foods, beverages, ingredients, fresh produce and dates to buyers from across the continent and the Middle East. Co-located shows cover processing, packaging and printing technology (interpack MEA), fresh produce (Fresh Africa) and the dates industry (Dates Africa). The 2026 edition runs over four days at the Egypt International Exhibition Center in New Cairo, open daily from 10:00 to 18:00.
The 2025 edition hosted 1,200 exhibitors from 51 countries and 37,000 visitors, including importers, distributors, retailers and hospitality buyers. With so many national pavilions and product launches, exhibitors rely on product photography, stand videos and social content to stand out. Many exhibitors come as part of national pavilions or trade missions and need to report back to sponsors at home. Professional photography, interview clips and quick social updates help them show results, follow up with buyers and promote their products across African and Middle Eastern markets.
