FOODPACK AFRICA - UGANDA 2026

FOODPACK AFRICA - UGANDA 2026: Empowering Africa’s Food Processing Future
Dates: May 8–10, 2026
Venue: Kampala International Convention Centre (KICC), Uganda

FOODPACK AFRICA - UGANDA 2026 is Africa’s premier exhibition dedicated to food processing, packaging, and supply chain solutions, convening industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers in Kampala. As Uganda’s economy rapidly expands—driven by agriculture, which contributes 25% of GDP and employs 70% of the workforce—this event addresses critical needs: enhancing food security, reducing post-harvest losses, and positioning Uganda as a regional processing hub.

Why Uganda?
Uganda’s strategic location in East Africa, coupled with its fertile lands and young, growing population, makes it an ideal host. The government’s "National Development Plan III" prioritizes agro-industrialization, aiming to boost value addition and export capacity. FOODPACK AFRICA - UGANDA 2026 directly supports this vision by showcasing technologies that transform raw produce into shelf-stable, high-value goods. With over 60% of Uganda’s agricultural output wasted due to inadequate processing, the event bridges a critical gap, offering practical solutions to scale production and meet domestic and international demand.

What to Expect
Attendees will explore cutting-edge innovations across three core segments:
1. Food Processing Machinery: Equipment for milling, canning, drying, and preservation tailored to African crops like maize, coffee, and fruits.
2. Packaging Solutions: Eco-friendly materials, smart packaging, and automation systems to extend shelf life and reduce waste.
3. Supply Chain & Logistics: Cold storage, transport technologies, and digital platforms for traceability and efficiency.

The exhibition will feature over 200 international and regional exhibitors, including leaders from Europe, Asia, and Africa. Seminars and workshops will cover topics like "Sustainable Packaging for African Markets," "Export Compliance," and "Investment Opportunities in Agro-Processing." Networking zones will foster partnerships between manufacturers, distributors, and government agencies.

Who Should Attend?
- Processors & Manufacturers: Seeking to upgrade technology and expand production.
- Packaging Suppliers: Showcasing sustainable and cost-effective solutions.
- Government & NGOs: Shaping policies for food security and industrial growth.
- Investors & Entrepreneurs: Identifying opportunities in Africa’s $1 trillion agribusiness sector.

Why 2026?
The event aligns with Uganda’s ambitious goals to double agro-processing exports by 2030. By 2026, demand for processed foods is projected to surge, driven by urbanization and rising incomes. FOODPACK AFRICA - UGANDA 2026 is the catalyst for this transformation, connecting stakeholders to accelerate innovation, investment, and collaboration.
