At the centre of a lucrative, multibillion-dollar food and beverage market, Africa Food Show Kenya takes place from 27-29 October 2027 at the Bomas Convention Centre, Nairobi. It is the ideal B2B platform for global food and beverage suppliers keen on increasing their footprint in Africa by covering the entire value chain, from farm to fridge.

Africa Food Show Kenya is East Africa's meeting place for the food and beverage industry. The show connects food producers, processors, manufacturers, distributors, importers, retailers, HoReCa buyers, investors and policymakers from across the agrifood value chain, and it brings in thousands of trade visitors from across Africa and beyond.
