The 7th edition of Agrofood & Plastprintpack Ghana 2025 has kicked off at the Accra International Conference Centre, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators from 15 countries to drive growth in Ghana’s agrofood and plastics printing and packaging sectors.
The event, organized by Fairtrade and ACE GROUP in collaboration with Geovision, showcases the country’s dynamic agri-food sector and its growing role in regional and global trade. With Ghana’s population projected to reach 80 million by 2050, the country represents one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in Africa.
According to Paul Marz, Managing Director of Fairtrade, “Agrofood and Plastprintpack Ghana has developed into the leading business and innovation platform for Ghana and West Africa’s agrofood, plastics printing, and packaging industries.”
The event features exhibitors from countries such as China, India, Kenya, and South Africa, presenting technologies, products, and solutions tailored to Ghana’s and the region’s markets.
The conference program includes sessions on food preservation, sustainable packaging, digital farming, circular economy, and entrepreneurship, highlighting the importance of innovation and responsibility in shaping the future of Africa’s agro-industrial transformation.
The event also features pavilions from the Netherlands, South Africa, and a joint pavilion from Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire, showcasing regional cooperation and South-South partnership.
The event aims to strengthen Ghana’s role as a regional hub for agro-industrial excellence, attract investment, and drive long-term sustainable growth.
The German Ambassador to Ghana, Frederick Landshoft, expressed Germany’s pride in partnering with the Ghana Agrofood and Plastprintpack Conference to build a long-term partnership.
He urged exhibitors to share ideas, build bridges, and utilize the fair to showcase their contributions towards global development through agribusiness and plastprintpack.
According to him, the time for global transformation to be locally owned is now, and Ghana and West Africa must rise to the challenge.
