Held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on 2 and 3 September 2026, the event is running alongside the 3rd Future Food Livestock & Poultry Expo to form an unparalleled convergence of agri-trade, innovation, and investment spanning the entire food and agriculture value chain.
This is not a regional event with regional ambitions; it is a global platform anchored in the world’s most exciting agricultural frontier, and it’s happening at precisely the right time.
Why Africa, and why now?
Africa holds more than 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, is home to a rapidly expanding middle class, and represents one of the fastest-growing food markets on the planet. With the continent’s population projected to double by 2050, its agriculture sector isn’t just a development story; it is a global business opportunity of unprecedented scale. Companies that establish a foothold here today are positioning themselves for decades of growth that few other markets can offer.
Tanzania, in particular, is emerging as one of East Africa’s most dynamic agricultural economies. With fertile land, a strategic coastal location, and a government actively investing in agri-infrastructure, the capital Dar es Salaam serves as a natural gateway for businesses looking to enter or expand across East and Central Africa.
The city’s port connectivity, improving logistics networks, and growing commercial ecosystem make it ideal for forging distribution partnerships, scouting suppliers, and launching new products into one of the continent’s most promising markets.
“Africa is not the market of the future. It is the market of today. The businesses that build relationships here now will lead the next decade of global agri-food trade,” says Tahir Abdul Bari, founder and CEO of event management company TAB Group, organiser of the Africa Agri Expo.
What to expect at the expo
The Africa Agri Expo is built to deliver genuine business value – not just a trade floor, but an ecosystem of deals, dialogue, and discovery.
Over two full days, exhibitors and attendees have access to live product demonstrations and launches spanning crop production, smart farming, irrigation systems, post-harvest technology, agricultural inputs, machinery, and digital agriculture tools. The expo floor is where manufacturers meet buyers, where technology meets adoption, and where new market relationships are born.
Through the Future Food Livestock & Poultry Expo, a dedicated zone covers animal nutrition, veterinary solutions, breeding technologies, cold chain infrastructure, and processing equipment, making this one of the very few events in Africa where agri-food and livestock businesses can engage a shared, crossover audience under one roof.
High-level conference sessions and panel discussions bring together industry experts, government representatives, and thought leaders to address the defining issues of African agriculture today: climate-smart farming, food security, agri-finance, and the role of youth in building the continent’s agricultural future.
Grow your business
The Africa Agri Expo 2026 offers every business a meaningful way to participate. Exhibitors gain direct access to thousands of qualified buyers, importers, and distributors, with dedicated demonstration space to showcase products and generate on-floor leads. For companies looking to enter new African markets or deepen existing relationships, there is no more efficient platform on the continent.
Sponsorship packages place your brand at the very centre of the event, from the opening ceremony to conference sessions and networking breaks. Premium visibility across all event touchpoints, logo placement on signage, lanyards, digital screens, and complimentary delegate passes make sponsorship a powerful brand investment that reaches a senior, decision-making audience precisely when they are evaluating solutions and suppliers.
For organisations looking to lead the conversation, speaking opportunities during the conference programme offer the chance to present research, share insights, or facilitate panel discussions, establishing thought leadership, driving media coverage, and building stakeholder relationships that extend well beyond the event itself.
Whichever path you choose, your association with Africa’s premier agricultural expo is a strategic entry point into one of the world’s fastest-growing agri-food economies.
Marking a decade of impact
Reaching the 10th edition of the Africa Agri Expo is no small milestone. Over the past decade, the expo has helped thousands of businesses forge meaningful connections, facilitated significant trade deals, and played a meaningful role in raising the profile of African agriculture on the world stage.
The 2026 edition is a celebration of this journey and a confident step into the next chapter, with a broader audience, a larger exhibition floor, and the added reach of the Future Food Livestock & Poultry Expo making this the most compelling edition yet.
