Welcome to the Hosted Buyers Platform
Connecting qualified global buyers with premier exhibitors across Food Africa, interpack MEA, and Fresh Africa 2026.
Three leading exhibitions. One integrated B2B platform.
Food Africa, interpack MEA, and Fresh Africa 2026 are held concurrently, bringing together the food, beverage, fresh produce, processing, and packaging industries.
Food Africa, now in its 11th edition, stands as Africa’s largest and most influential food and beverage trade exhibition, connecting manufacturers, exporters, buyers, distributors, and industry professionals across Africa, the Middle East, and international markets.
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 part of the globally renowned interpack alliance hosted by Messe Düsseldorf, it showcases advanced industrial solutions, automation technologies, and sustainable innovations.
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.
Together, the co-located exhibitions connect the full value chain—from food production and fresh produce to processing, packaging, printing, and distribution—creating strong opportunities for sourcing, networking, partnerships, and business growth.
