About The Summit

Food safety challenges affect Africa’s food security and consumer health negatively – making the continent one of the most vulnerable to trade restrictions, illnesses and death and loss of economic and social potential.

The Africa Food Safety & Quality Summit is Africa’s premier and largest international food safety, quality management and conformity conference and exhibition.

The Summit brings together regional and global experts and stakeholders to share the latest trends in science and technology; regulations, standards and compliance; operations and sustainable adoption of food safety practices and technologies in the entire agriculture and food value chain in Africa.

Held in physical and virtual format, the Summit aims at providing the platform to boost quality, food safety and conformity in Africa and the region’s fast rising food and agriculture sector that will enhance trade in local, regional and global markets.

The Summit brings together investors, managers and professionals in the private, public, academia and NGO/development organisations from across Africa and the World.

Held annually since 2021, the Summit is planned to be held in a rotating basis in a number of African countries, to provide some of the countries most affected by food safety and quality challenges to gain from this pan-African forum.

The 2022 edition of the Summit will be held together with the AFMASS Youth Summit – a pan-African mentorship, networking and capacity building platform for university students and young professionals and budding start-up entrepreneurs in Africa’s food and agriculture sector.
