250 exhibitors ready for food, beverage West Africa show

Over 250 exhibitors across the world are expected to showcase their products at this year’s edition of the Food and Beverage West Africa (FABWA) show. The event holds between June 13 and 16 at the Landmark Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.  
   
According to the organiser, FABWA has expanded dramatically since its launch in 2018. It said that with more than 6,000 visitors expected to attend, the show will be the first event to occupy the newly built additional show halls when it opens for three days.
 
It added that one reason for the need for more space is the presence of eight country pavilions with delegations coming from Dubai, Indonesia, Russia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Tunisia and India. 
 

Its Managing Director, Jamie Hill, expressed delight to see the increasing interest the show generates each year. 
 
“The opportunity to expand from two into four show halls at the Landmark Centre really demonstrates the massive potential the F&B industry sees in Nigeria and beyond. FABWA’s expansion clearly reflects the growing confidence in Nigeria’s economic landscape.
 
“People from West Africa and around the world are looking forward to doing business in Nigeria. Our food and beverage exhibition is now at a truly international scale. We have a fantastic number of Nigerian businesses taking part and are excited that we have so many countries, more than 60, represented at the show. 
 
“It means we anticipate there will be more than 6,000 visitors from food retailing, production and distribution, as well as the hospitality and quick service restaurant (QSR) sector. We know how keen they are to see the latest developments and business opportunities from exhibitors from around the world.”
