INDUSTRY CONVERGENCE
Food Africa, interpack MEA, Fresh Africa 2026
Food Africa, interpack MEA, and Fresh Africa 2026 are three leading international trade exhibitions held concurrently, creating one of the region’s most comprehensive platforms for the food, beverage, fresh produce, processing, and packaging industries.
Now in its 11th edition, Food Africa stands as Africa’s largest and most influential food and beverage trade exhibition, connecting global manufacturers, exporters, buyers, distributors, and industry professionals across Africa, the Middle East, and international markets.
Held alongside Food Africa, interpack MEA, formerly pacprocess MEA and now in its 7th edition, is the leading international exhibition for processing, packaging, and printing technologies in the Middle East and Africa. As a member of the globally renowned interpack alliance hosted by Messe Düsseldorf, the exhibition showcases advanced industrial solutions, automation technologies, and sustainable innovations serving multiple manufacturing sectors.
Fresh Africa, now in its 6th edition, is a leading fresh produce exhibition dedicated to fruits and vegetables, connecting producers, exporters, buyers, and suppliers across regional and international markets, while supporting trade opportunities throughout Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.
Together, the co-located exhibitions create a fully integrated B2B platform that connects the entire value chain — from food production and fresh produce to processing, packaging, printing, and distribution — delivering exceptional opportunities for sourcing, networking, partnerships, and business growth across high-potential markets.
