30 Countries For Lagos Food, Beverage Exhibition In June

No fewer than exhibitors from 30 countries have indicated interest in the forthcoming three-day West African biggest food and beverage exhibition holding in Lagos from June 13, 2023.

Citing high demand for space at the exhibition, the organisers in a statement issued in Lagos yesterday said they are expanding into the 4th exhibition hall at Landmark Centre, Victoria Island in the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria.

This means that the show has the potential to double its floor area size since last year’s event, which sold out the two existing exhibition halls. Since then, the organisers said a third hall has opened, and now a fourth semi-permanent marquee-type hall is being constructed.

The trade show is due to run from June 13 to June 15, 2023 and will see exhibitors from more than 30 countries. Among 10 country pavilions will be new pavilions featuring foods, drinks, equipment and services from India, Dubai and Russia, while the United Nations International Trade Centre (ITC) organisation will send a delegation of West African producers, including delegates from Gambia and Liberia. Indonesia.

The exhibition is organised by BtoB Events, which managing director, Jamie Hill, said, “The show’s expansion reflects the confidence in Nigeria’s economic landscape – people are ready for Nigeria to do business and the Food and Beverage exhibition is now at a truly international scale,” he says.
