ABOUT THE FAIR
Food Pack East Africa is the leading trade fair for food processing, beverage production, packaging technologies, and sustainable logistics solutions in East Africa. Held annually in the heart of Tanzania, at the renowned Diamond Jubilee Hall in Dar es Salaam, it brings together professionals, industry leaders, and innovators from around the world. The event is organized by MXM Exhibitions, an internationally experienced organizer specializing in business platforms for emerging markets.
More than just an exhibition, the fair serves as a highly focused platform for innovation, networking, and business development in one of Africa’s most dynamic growth regions. With a strong emphasis on efficiency, sustainability, and modern technologies, Food Pack East Africa offers companies of all sizes direct access to a rapidly globalizing market.
The core focus areas include food processing, beverage production, bakery and confectionery technology, dairy processing, as well as advanced packaging and logistics solutions. Visitors gain hands-on insight into the latest production machinery, automation systems, quality control technologies, and packaging innovations that are shaping the industrial future of East Africa. Additionally, the fair showcases cutting-edge ingredients, formulation trends, and sustainable practices – tailored to regional requirements and evolving consumer demands.
Dar es Salaam, as Tanzania’s economic hub and one of the region’s major seaports, offers excellent logistical conditions and close ties to the industry – making it an ideal location for the event. Food Pack East Africa strengthens regional value creation, fosters partnerships between local producers and international suppliers, and builds a vital bridge between innovation and application.
One of the highlights of the exhibition includes live demonstrations, product presentations, and thematic forums that provide visitors with in-depth insights into emerging trends and developments.
Exhibitors represent sectors such as mechanical engineering, food technology, packaging design, logistics, bakery equipment, beverage technology, dairy processing, and ingredient manufacturing. Key target groups include buyers, manufacturers, traders, distributors, technicians, and decision-makers from the food production, retail, hospitality, agriculture, packaging, and logistics industries.
The centrally located Diamond Jubilee Hall is not only an architectural landmark of Dar es Salaam but also easily accessible – via Julius Nyerere International Airport, as well as public transport and taxis. Numerous hotels, restaurants, and business centers are situated nearby, offering ideal conditions for international visitors and business travelers.
The Food Pack East Africa takes place annually, and therefore for the 10th time previsibly in January 2027 in Dar es Salaam.
