The only event of its kind on the continent,
Africa’s Big Seven Expo presents a composite of seven separate but
co-located events that define the various stages and specific technologies
required to move produce from the field through the processing, packaging and
marketing phases eventually culminating in retail sales
Africa – a market of 725 million consumers.
Africa’s store of oil and mineral resources and the meteoric rise in
world prices for these commodities has awakened the world to the fact that the
continent is suddenly a good place to do business. There is little argument
that Africa’s economic prospects are the best they have ever seen.
Africa’s rapidly expanding middle class, their changing lifestyles and
growing disposable income all add up to enormous business opportunities for
suppliers of raw produce, processing and packaging equipment, associated
relevant technology as well as retail ready products
“The simple fact is that Africa wants to do
business” said Teigue Payne, publisher of leading industry journal Food
& Beverage Reporter. “Africa’s Big Seven plays a hugely
successful role in linking our markets to the outside world”
John Ackermann, publisher of refrigeration magazine
The Cold Link further affirmed “Africa’s Big Seven can truly be
described as an international meeting forum for the food trade”
