The second edition of Poultry Africa in Kigali opened on 2 October 2019 and welcomed visitors from the whole region, setting strong basis for a strategic future move to Nairobi, Kenya in 2020.
First two editions confirm the show’s strong development in Africa
During the first 2 editions the event has positioned itself as the most complete exhibition for Africa. Providing a valuable and business-driven environment where African and global players have shared knowledge, strengthened regional partnerships and initiated promising business relations. Kigali has been the perfect destination to establish this international event for Africa. It’s a first-class place for professional trade shows. The support by the national Government and the related network of organizations and associations has made a true difference and deserves a big “Thank You”!
Kenya: the new destination for Poultry Africa 3rd edition
East Africa is a key production and consumption market for poultry and eggs in the continent.
Kenya presents an advanced supply chain driven by professional retailers. Easily accessible by air from Europe and highly affordable to fly into within Africa, Nairobi is going to host the third edition of Poultry Africa.
A yearly appointment from 2020
Serving Sub-Saharan Africa, Poultry Africa will travel yearly to different destinations around the region. The event will return to the beautiful city of Kigali in alternation with other key poultry markets. The yearly frequency enables producers to connect with suppliers within the fast-growing markets of feed production, farming, and food processing in Africa. Moreover, African mid-size poultry and egg producers prefer to meet suppliers within their own country. With a low-cost and hassle-free trade show concept the show enables suppliers to be present annually at a premium show with a small budget.
