German Pavilion

For the seventh time in a row, a German Pavilion will be presented at agrofood & plastprintpack Nigeria featuring German exhibitors displaying their solutions and products.

The German Pavilion is presented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action in cooperation with the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry AUMA and supported by VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery.

Italian Pavilion

The Italian Trade Agency ITA in cooperation with AMAPLAST, UCIMA, and ACIMGA organises the first Collective Participation of Italian companies at plastprintpack & agrofood Nigeria in 2024.

Why participate?

Nigeria, with $477bn GDP in 2022, is the largest economy and the most populous country on the African continent, with more than 200 million people, which is expected to double by 2050.

The country is the second largest importer in Africa of plastics processing technology (€143m in 2022); the largest importer of packaging technology (€183m in 2022); and the second largest importer of printing and converting machinery in sub-Saharan Africa. It is therefore a very promising market, both in terms of its current size and its future development.

plastprintpack & agrofood Nigeria bring together, in a single event, the agricultural mechanization, food processing, plastics and paper processing (for packaging and non-packaging), packaging and bottling sectors, and is the most important local exhibition for the above sectors.

The objective of participating in this event is to increase the export opportunities of Italian companies, in an area with strong market potential, but where the assistance of institutions is still essential to approach local operators in the most effective way.

The Netherlands Pavilion

The Netherlands Pavilion is supported by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

South Africa Pavilion

South Africa joins in for the 2024 event with a Department of Agri Western Cape Pavilion featuring more than ten exhibitors.

The Western Cape Department of Agriculture provides a wide range of development, research and support services to the agricultural community in the Western Cape. The agricultural sector stimulates economic growth in the province and plays a major role in creating sustainable job opportunities.

Top level 3-day conference

A top level 3-day conference featuring 19 sessions and 74 top-class speakers ran alongside the exhibition.

Due to high demand, the conference room had been enlarged to 180 seats and equipped with an 11m wide backdrop, including 7m of LED for the best possible presentation quality.

C-level speakers representing market-leading companies and institutions delivered educational and entertaining sessions of the highest quality, promising immediate benefits for the audience in their day-to-day business.

With € 165m in 2021 (+48% compared to 2020), Nigeria is the second largest importer of plastics technology in Africa, just behind Egypt (€ 202m) and well ahead of South Africa (€ 144m). Nigeria‘s imports increased by an average of 25% per year between 2016 and 2021.

And with € 151 million in 2021, Nigeria is also one of the three largest importers of packaging technology in Africa, in line with South Africa with € 152 million and behind Egypt with € 195 million. (VDMA)
