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.

Bringing agrofood & plastprintpack back as one of the first physical trade shows during the pandemic stands testament to the courage and optimism of fairtrade Messe and their partners. This courage and optimism will continue to drive growth in the agribusiness value chains in Nigeria during these uncertain and challenging times.

We expected visitors to return to the exhibition after the covid-break, and this is exactly what happened. We are proud to be the only OEM for all machines for the flexible packaging industry here at the event and thus we had a lot of visitors.
