FABWA exhibition begins, June 13

This year’s edition of the Food and Beverage West Africa (FABWA), is slated to commence on June 13, 2023, and is meant to be Nigeria’s largest exhibition ever, the Managing Director of Btob Events, Jamie Hill, organisers of the exhibition, has said. Hill said he was delighted to see the increasing interest the show generates each year and that FABWA would become Nigeria’s first ever trade event, requiring four exhibition halls.

“The opportunity to expand from two into four show halls at the Landmark Centre really demonstrates the massive potential the food and bevearage industry sees in Nigeria and beyond. FABWA’s expansion clearly reflects the growing confidence in Nigeria’s economic landscape. People from West Africa and around the world are looking forward to doing business in Nigeria – our food and beverage exhibition is now at a truly international scale. We have a fantastic number of Nigerian businesses taking part and we are excited that we have so many countries, more than 60 represented at the show. It means we anticipate there will be more than 6,000 visitors from food retailing, production and distribution, as well as the hospitality and Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) sector.

“We know how keen they are to see latest developments and business opportunities from exhibitors from around the world. Taking place at the Landmark Centre on Victoria Island, Lagos, the international show (with the link, https://www.fab-westafrica.com/), has expanded dramatically since being launched in 2018. With more than 250 exhibitors and 6,000 visitors expected to attend. FABWA will be the first event to occupy the newly built additional show halls when the exhibition opens on Tuesday, June 13 to June 15, 2023. One reason for the need for more space is the presence of eight country pavilions with delegations coming from Dubai, Indonesia, Russia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Tunisia and India”, saying FABWA would also showcase more than 12 of Nigeria’s food and drinks, among others.
