The Gateway to Africa
Located in the northeast corner of Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt is a country marked by its remarkable geographical location as the main gateway to the whole African continent. Egypt’s ideal location grants it distinct access to key regional markets. In addition, Egypt enjoys the existence of the Suez Canal, which is the shortest link between the east and the west due to its unique geographic setting.Food Africa – Cairo
Egypt has access to large key markets through various multilateral and bilateral trade agreements with African countries; mainly the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), which secures benefits to Egyptian-based producers and re-exporters supplying these markets.
A Market of Significant Importance in the Region
Egypt is one of the most populous countries in Africa and the Middle East, and the 15th-most populated in the world. The economy of Egypt is considered to be among the most richly diversified in the Middle East, with sectors such as agriculture, industry and services operating at almost equal production levels with tourism being one of the most important sectors in the economy.Food Africa – Cairo
Egypt has emerged as a consumer market of significant importance in the region, as witnessed by the arrival of dozens of global brands and the sharp expansion of retail sales in the past two years. Egypt also remains an ideal hub from which to export to Europe, the Arab world, the United States and Africa.

Serving the Needs of one of the Biggest Food Markets in the World
The African food market, which makes a USD 3.3 billion business, is considered to be one of the most important markets in the world. Although agribusiness is a major industry in many of the continent’s countries, the lack of advanced technology and know-how for an efficient agriculture and food processing industry keeps most of these countries dependent on importing a large number of food products, thus fuelling further market growth opportunities for the global suppliers.
Top industry players around the world emphasize the need for platforms to discover new business and investment opportunities, interact with major stakeholders, share their vision, and discuss key issues concerning the future of agriculture and food in the African Continent.
In response to these needs, IFP Group, the leading event organizer in the Middle East, is proud to be organizing Food Africa – Cairo, the international trade exhibition for food and beverages serving the African market, in Africa’s regional hub for business and trade, Egypt.
