06 May 2026, Tanzania: The 10th edition of the Africa Agri Expo, co-located with the 3rd Future Food Livestock & Poultry Expo, is set to take place on 2nd and 3rd September 2026 in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania. The milestone edition is expected to bring together farmers, agribusiness companies, policymakers, investors, technology providers, and food industry stakeholders from across Africa and global markets for two days of networking, business expansion, innovation showcase, and policy discussions.
Positioned as one of Africa’s leading agriculture and food industry exhibitions, the event aims to create a comprehensive platform connecting the entire agricultural value chain, including crop production, agri-inputs, farm mechanisation, irrigation, digital agriculture, livestock, poultry, food processing, and post-harvest technologies. The co-location of the livestock and poultry expo is expected to further strengthen cross-sector collaboration and business opportunities for companies targeting the African agri-food ecosystem.
Africa Agri Expo 2026 Event Date and Venue
The Africa Agri Expo 2026 will be held on 2nd and 3rd September 2026 in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, one of East Africa’s rapidly growing commercial and agricultural hubs. Tanzania is increasingly emerging as a strategic gateway for agribusinesses seeking market access across East and Central Africa due to its favourable agricultural landscape, expanding logistics infrastructure, and growing government focus on agri-development.
According to the organisers, the event will coincide with rising global interest in African agriculture, particularly as the continent holds more than 60 percent of the world’s uncultivated arable land and continues to witness rapid growth in food demand and agribusiness investments.
Africa Agri Expo 2026 Agenda Highlights
The agenda for Africa Agri Expo 2026 will focus on business development, technology adoption, food security, and sustainable agricultural growth. The exhibition floor will feature live demonstrations, product launches, and solution showcases related to crop production, irrigation systems, agri-machinery, precision farming, post-harvest technologies, smart farming tools, and digital agriculture platforms.
The co-located Future Food Livestock & Poultry Expo will include dedicated segments covering animal nutrition, breeding technologies, veterinary solutions, processing equipment, cold chain systems, and livestock infrastructure. Organisers believe the combined platform will create broader engagement opportunities between crop agriculture and livestock businesses operating across Africa’s food supply chain.
In addition to the exhibition, the event agenda will include conference sessions and panel discussions featuring policymakers, industry leaders, technology innovators, and agricultural experts. Key discussion themes are expected to include climate-smart agriculture, food security, agri-finance, youth participation in agriculture, and the future of African agribusiness.
Business and Networking Opportunities
The organisers state that the event is designed not only as a trade exhibition but also as a business networking and investment platform. Exhibitors will have opportunities to connect directly with buyers, importers, distributors, and agribusiness decision-makers from across Africa and international markets. Sponsorship opportunities will also be available for companies seeking brand visibility during conference sessions, networking events, and exhibition activities.
Speaking opportunities during the conference programme are expected to allow organisations to present industry insights, showcase innovations, and strengthen thought leadership in the African agriculture sector.
A Decade of Africa Agri Expo
The 2026 edition marks the 10th anniversary of the Africa Agri Expo. Over the past decade, the platform has facilitated business collaborations, trade partnerships, and technology exchange initiatives aimed at supporting the growth of African agriculture. Organisers say the upcoming edition will feature a larger exhibition floor, broader international participation, and stronger integration with the livestock and food processing sectors through the co-located expo.
Industry stakeholders interested in exhibiting, sponsoring, speaking, or attending can connect with the organisers through the official contact channels shared for the event.
