The 2025 edition of the Africa Food Safety Summit

Africa’s premier and largest international food safety, quality management, and compliance conference and exhibition.

Overview

The Africa Food Safety Summit addresses three interconnected issues critical to Africa's development:

• Food Safety
• Food Nutrition
• Food Security

These challenges are pivotal in Africa's quest to provide adequate, nutritious, and safe food to its growing population. They also impact the continent's ability to enhance consumer health and facilitate local, regional, and international trade. Consequently, Africa remains vulnerable to hunger, food-borne illnesses, and trade restrictions, which hinder its economic and social potential.

Objectives

The Summit aims to:

• Bring together regional and global experts and stakeholders.
• Share the latest trends in:
  • Food safety
  • Quality management
  • Science and technology
  • Regulations, standards, and compliance
  • Sustainable adoption of safe practices and technologies in the agriculture and food value chain in Africa

History and Purpose

Since its inception in 2021, the Summit has provided a pan-African platform where key decision-makers converge annually in Africa. The event facilitates networking, learning, and trading as participants seek solutions to the continent's unique food and agriculture sector challenges.
