More than 4,500 industry professionals are expected to attend the region\u2019s largest and most prestigious food and beverage industry event that has been relocated to the state of the art Landmark Centre to accommodate the increasing scope of the show. The 2017 edition of the show is expected to outgrow the launch show by 40%, in terms of attendees, and will showcase exciting new products, services and equipment from more than 160 businesses from around the globe, up from 140 in 2016. The event will span 3,000 sqm of exhibition space and host 25 international country pavilions providing first-class opportunities to meet, network and establish business ties in Africa\u2019s largest economy \u2013 Nigeria. The event returns with a comprehensive backing from the industry\u2019s leading authorities and associations including the Association of Food Vendors in Nigeria (AFVN), the National Agency for Food and Drug (NAFDAC), NASON and Ogbaru Main Market Onitsha. According to<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri,serif;\"> Ryan Sanderson, Director, Informa Life Science Group, Africa:<\/span><\/span> \u201cTheir continued support highlights the strength of the retail market in Nigeria, where <span lang=\"en-US\">the growing middle class is estimated to have a combined purchasing power in excess of N8.5 trillion, and the power of platforms such as Food West Africa as a tool for generating trade and strengthening business ties with the local and international retail community.\u201d<\/span> <span lang=\"en-US\">According to Euromonitor International, retailing in Nigeria is expected to witness sustained growth in value sales and the changing structure from traditional to modern retailing channels will be major factors supporting this growth. Their analysts predict that convenience stores, variety stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets are predicted to be amongst the fastest growing channels, due to their offer of comfort, convenience and range, whilst in terms of non-store retailing, internet retailing is expected to post strong value growth, as the number of internet-capable devices increases and as traditional consumption habits begin to give way to a more comfortable mode of shopping.<\/span> <span lang=\"en-US\">A new feature for the 2017 edition of Food West Africa <\/span>is the dedicated \u2018Made in Nigeria\u2019 zone specifically designed for local Nigerian companies looking to increase sales and distribution of finished food products. Some of the Nigerian companies present at the show include FAB Juice, Just Food Limited, Red Bull Nigeria, Ruby Multi Links, Integrated Dairies &amp; Euro Global Foods and Distilleries Limited to name a few. The event will also host a three-day multi-sector conference that will address the market\u2019s challenges, opportunities and solutions and will <span lang=\"en-US\">present latest modern channels of food distribution in the region, advances in food handling and logistics, updates on safety management, and regulations on importation and exportation.<\/span> <span lang=\"en-US\">Regional experts from domestic and international large-scale food companies, governments, local agencies and associations will be represented and will give their insights on improved technologies and advanced measures on how to consolidate and implement better measures in food distribution retail in West Africa.<\/span> For more information, please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-westafricaca.com\">www.food-westafrica.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 4,500 visitors expected to attend the 2nd edition of West Africa\u2019s largest food and beverage exhibition at the Landmark Centre in Lagos Informa Life Sciences Exhibitions, the worlds leading publishing and exhibitions company, has announced that the second edition of the Food West Africa will take place at the Landmark Centre in Lagos, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9791],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fairs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
