The 15th Ethiopia Food Expo 2026 will be held from 4th to 8th February 2026 in Addis Abeba, Ethiopia, and will serve as a major B2B platform for the food, beverage, and agro-processing industries in East Africa. Ethiopia Food Expo has established itself as a recurring international event that supports trade, technology exchange, and sector development across the regional food economy.
The primary purpose of the expo is to strengthen commercial and technical linkages within the food value chain, from agricultural inputs to processed and packaged food products. The event reflects key industry themes such as food security, value addition, processing efficiency, packaging innovation, and alignment with international quality and safety standards. It provides a structured environment for exploring market opportunities within Ethiopia and neighboring countries.
The exhibition covers a broad range of segments including processed foods, beverages, dairy products, grains, pulses, edible oils, bakery items, confectionery, food ingredients, packaging materials, processing machinery, cold-chain solutions, and quality control technologies. In addition to the trade exhibition, the event typically includes technical sessions, industry presentations, and professional discussions focusing on food processing techniques, supply-chain optimisation, regulatory requirements, and export readiness. Business matchmaking and networking formats are integrated to facilitate direct engagement between exhibitors, buyers, distributors, and institutional stakeholders.
The target audience includes food and beverage manufacturers, agro-processors, exporters, importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, packaging suppliers, machinery providers, consultants, and logistics companies. Government representatives, trade bodies, and development institutions also participate to address policy, standards, and sector growth strategies.
From an industry perspective, the Ethiopia Food Expo is relevant as a gateway to East Africa’s expanding food and agribusiness markets.
