FW Africa expands its events portfolio with dedicated poultry and feed industry expo

KENYA – FW Africa, the leading organiser of high-level trade shows and conferences in Africa, is set to host the Africa Poultry & Animal Feed Expo, the continent’s premier international trade show and summit on sustainable poultry, aquaculture, and animal nutrition. 

The event, scheduled for July 2-4, 2025, at the Sarit Expo Center in Nairobi, Kenya, promises to be a game-changer for the region’s poultry and animal feed industries.

For the first time, the livestock industry in the region will have its own stand-alone event: the Africa Poultry & Animal Feed Expo.

The Expo, which will be co-located with the renowned AFMASS Food Manufacturing Expo Eastern Africa, which is now in its 10th edition, underscores the growing importance of the livestock industry in the region.

The three day expo will focus on the poultry, aquaculture, and animal nutrition & health industry in general, ensuring these industries receive the focused attention they deserve.

Speaking on this strategic move, Mr. Francis Juma, the CEO of FW Africa, stated, “Africa Poultry & Animal Feed Expo is an important addition to our food and agriculture sector events. Over the last ten years, FW Africa has continuously impacted the sector through our industry-focused trade websites, magazines and events.”

He explained that the event is set to transform the livestock and animal feed industry in Africa through the creation of new opportunities for regional and international manufacturers and distributors of feed additives, equipment, packaging, and other supply chain solutions to meet and do business with livestock and animal nutrition and health industry stakeholders from Africa.

It will also provide the platform for manufacturers of animal nutrition and health products to find new customers and buyers from the region.

According to Mordor Intelligence, the African compound animal feed market is projected to grow from US$22.85 billion in 2025 to US$28.22 billion by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 4.31% during the forecast period. 

The sector’s expansion aligns with growth in associated industries, including feed ingredient suppliers, animal health solution providers, and processing technology manufacturers, informing the decision to organise this critical event.

“The exponential growth we are witnessing in Africa’s animal feed sector signals immense opportunities for innovation and investment,” Mr. Juma noted. “This expo will be the perfect place for stakeholders to tap into these opportunities, discover new technologies, and form valuable partnerships.”

Exhibition & conference highlights

At this premium expo, the exhibition hall will showcase cutting-edge technologies, products, and services tailored for the poultry, aquaculture, and animal feed industries. 

Various categories of exhibitors will grace the floor, ranging from equipment providers to feed additives and feed safety and quality providers, showcasing their latest technologies and solutions. 

For instance, Bühler, Fischbein International, Makenas, Alapala, Altinbilek, and Cimbria are among the leading equipment manufacturers confirmed for the expo. 

These companies specialise in cutting-edge milling, processing, and packaging technologies integral to the animal feed and poultry industries. 

The event will also host top players in feed additives and animal health solutions, including FenChem Inc., Manuchar, and REDA Ingredients. 

These companies provide essential vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and other nutritional solutions for optimising animal health and performance. With the growing emphasis on sustainable and high-quality feed, their products are at the forefront of transforming the industry.

In the laboratory and quality assurance segment, companies such as Sorela Scientific, Bastak Instruments, AES Solutions, and F&S Scientific Ltd will showcase advanced diagnostic tools and testing solutions tailored specifically for the feed industry. 

Kenya Bureau of Standards will also have a booth at the expo, aiming to sensitise different industry players on the regulatory landscape in Kenya. 

Ensuring rigorous quality control measures is critical as the industry grows, making these exhibitors an essential part of the expo.

The Kenya Veterinary Association will also be present as a Strategic Partner, reinforcing the importance of veterinary and health solutions in the poultry and animal feed industries. 

More manufacturers and distributors from Kenya, Africa and internationally are expected to join over the course of the next few months.

Their involvement highlights the sector’s commitment to ensuring animal welfare and productivity through best disease prevention, vaccination, and overall animal health management practices.

Organisations looking to showcase their innovations and solutions are encouraged to book exhibition booths while spaces are still available. The expo offers an unmatched platform for companies to reach decision-makers across the poultry, livestock, and feed industries.

Landmark summit to bolster learning at the expo 

Alongside the exhibition hall will be technical sessions focused on the livestock and animal health and nutrition industry, which will be in addition to the Africa Future Food Summit, the premier conference dedicated to sustainable food systems. 

As climate change and population growth pose significant challenges to food security, this summit provides a vital platform for discussions on the future of agriculture and nutrition. 

“Animal feed and its affiliated industries play a central role in these discussions,” noted Mr. Juma, emphasising the industry’s importance in ensuring a resilient food system.

Beyond learning and discovery, the event fosters networking & engagement, creating opportunities for farmers, traders, retailers, government officials, and technology suppliers to connect. 

Other co-located events

The Africa Poultry & Animal Feed Expo will also be co-located with the Africa Fresh Produce Expo and the Africa Hotels & Restaurants Expo, further expanding the opportunities for cross-sector collaborations and business engagements. 

With its diverse range of exhibitors, high-level conference discussions, and extensive networking opportunities, this event is set to be a must-attend for anyone invested in the future of poultry, aquaculture, and animal nutrition industries in Africa.
