Review: agrofood & plastprintpack Ethiopia 2021 was a great success
High exhibitor satisfaction ratings
For this event, from 14 to 16 October 2021, exhibitors had come to Addis Ababa with rather low expectations due to Corona, many even stayed away altogether. All the more pleasing was the great interest in live business contacts of no less than 2,458 visitors and their interest in doing business with exhibitors from 9 countries representing a wide spectrum of the entire value chain.
The high satisfaction ratings on the part of exhibitors reflect this, as does the statement by Matthias Thienel of Destilla: "We were unsure what to expect due to the pandemic and the overall situation of the country, but our expectations for the exhibition were outmatched by far."
Speaking of exhibitor satisfaction, here are the amazing results of the survey:

After the great success of agrofood & plastprintpack Ethiopia 2021, others will certainly consider their participation again for 2023. And the good thing is, with dates of June 8-10, 2023, it's just around the corner and will stay back on its traditional June date from then on.
