DJAZAGRO 2017. Save the date, a distinctly international 15th edition
The next edition of DJAZAGRO, the trade fair for agri-food production, will be held from 10 to 13 April 2017 at the SAFEX Exhibition Centre – Algiers – Algeria.
Expansion in 2017
In the wake of its successful 2016 show, DJAZAGRO continues to expand with the opening of a new hall for its 15th anniversary.
An industry reference trade show for a fast-developing market
According to a 2013 report by the World Bank, the African agri-food market was worth 310 billion dollars and could grow to 1,000 billion dollars by 2030.
Today, Africa imports half of all the rice it eats, amounting to 3.5 billion dollars per year. Consequently, by investing in the agri-food industry, African countries will gain access to regional and world markets, increase the availability of food within their own borders and increase their exports.
The African market holds incredible potential, with a population of approximately 170 million and annual average growth of 8%s since 1999. Furthermore, according to International Monetary Fund statistics, annual per capita income has risen from $310 to $1725 in the past fifteen years.
The objective of many African countries is to develop their local production to increase their self-sufficiency in staple foods, such is the case in Algeria with its National Farming and Rural Development Plan (PNDAR). As a result, requirements for agricultural and food processing equipment are also increasing. This growth is reflected at DJAZAGRO through the 26% increase between 2015 and 2016 in exhibitor numbers in the Processing, Packing and Canning sector.
