Now in its 2nd edition, the Ethiopia food show 2026 returns to Addis Ababa, showcasing the impressive growth and vast potential of Ethiopia’s food & beverage trade.

In 2026, the event will once again be held alongside

• the 2nd edition of the Ethiopica coffee show, Ethiopia’s leading coffee sourcing event, and
• the 8th edition of agrofood Ethiopia, the country’s No. 1 business platform for the agrofood industry.

Organised by fairtrade Messe in cooperation with local partners Prana Events, the exhibition will bring together thousands of industry professionals from Ethiopia and around the globe, making it a must-attend event for anyone invested in the future of F&B trade in the region.

• Ethiopia is making major investments in agro-industries, food and beverage processing, and the food and coffee trade, strengthening its role as a regional powerhouse.
• With a population of 130 million, projected to reach 200 million by 2050, Ethiopia is the largest food & beverage market in East and Central Africa. The F&B sector is also the largest segment of Ethiopian manufacturing, driven by rapidly rising consumer demand.
• In 2023, Ethiopia’s food imports reached US$1.9 billion, while food exports totaled US$2.5 billion. (WTO) 
• This represents a US$4.4 billion food and beverage trade market, positioning Ethiopia among the leading F&B hubs in East & Central Africa. (WTO)

The Ethiopia food show is evolving! With dedicated partial fairs for F&B and coffee trade, this event offers a more focused, forward-looking experience than ever before.

It’s further enriched by agrofood Ethiopia, creating a dynamic platform that reflects Ethiopia’s potential in full.

Adding even more value, the 8th edition of plastprintpack Ethiopia will be held concurrently.
