It is based on the following facts and figures that the German trade show specialists fairtrade are organising the 8th edition of plastprintpack & agrofood Nigeria as the major professional event for the fast-growing Nigerian plastprintpack market.

plastprintpack & agrofood Nigeria takes place from 28 to 30 March 2023 at the Landmark Centre in Lagos.

Facts & figures on the fast-growing Nigerian plastprintpack market

With 72% of raw materials imported (mainly from the Middle East, Europe and Asia) and only 28% produced locally, the Nigerian market has great potential for exporters of plastics in primary forms. The country is Africa’s third largest importer of plastics in primary forms.
With €111m in 2020, Nigeria is the second largest importer of plastics technology in Sub-Sahara Africa. Its imports increased by an average of 19.7% per year between 2016 and 2020.
At €50m in 2020, Nigeria ranks second in sub-Saharan Africa for imports of printing and paper technology.
With €174 million in 2020 after €155 million in 2019 (+12.2%), Nigeria is the largest importer of packaging technology in Africa, in line with Egypt with €173 million, but well ahead of South Africa, Algeri, Morocco and other African countries.

The enormous population growth from 206 million in 2022 to 411 million in 2050 demands high sustainable investments in Nigeria’s plastprintpack & agrofood industry.

H.E. Dr. Bernd von Münchow-Pohl
Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany Lagos
As a representative of a country for which machinery of all sorts remains a major if not the biggest export category, I see great market potential in Nigeria, the continent’s largest economy, and in particular in the agrofood & plastprintpack sector.
This 7th edition comes along in a bigger format, with more exhibition space, and more participating companies representing a wider geographical spread. Without a doubt, the fair’s overarching concept of “from field to fork” has proven successful.
