Agrofood – Fairtrade, OTACCWA host Exhibition in Lagos

AGROFOOD and Plastprintpack Nigeria made a return in the post-COVID-19 trade fairs, with a three-day conference and an ‘Oktoberfest exhibitors’ evening.

The sixth edition of the fair, organised by the German trade show specialists, Fairtrade, took place between October 26 and 28 at the Landmark Centre in Lagos.

Global technology leaders from 12 countries showcased adapted technologies and solutions for the Nigerian and West African market in the fields of agriculture, food and beverage processing, ingredients, plastics, printing and packaging.

Some of the highpoints of the event were the insightful panel sessions organised by Fairtrade in cooperation with AHK Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria and with the Organisation for Technology Advancement of Cold Chain in West Africa (OTACCWA).

Managing Director, Fairtrade Messe, Paul Maerz, said the main purpose of the event is to create a platform with a strong collaborative community so exhibitors from around the globe and trade visitors from all over Nigeria and neighbouring countries can again talk to each other, tackle projects and work together which was achieved eventually.

“We at Fairtrade have been preparing this edition with great commitment.

We are proud that our exhibitor community represents a wide spectrum of the entire value chain.

This year’s edition featured exhibitors from 12 countries, namely from Belgium, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Germany, Nigeria, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States,” Paul declared.

Fairtrade has over 30 years of experience as organisers of events in Agrofood & PlastPrintPack industry across continents.
