“The idea to launch a professional platform especially for the Nigerian business community was brought up by the exhibitors and the organisers of national pavilions at our “agrofood & plastprintpack West Africa 2013″ in Accra last December. Now we are excited to create this new major platform for our long-term customers.”
Nigeria – the economic powerhouse in West Africa!
Nigeria stands for an abundance of natural resources such as oil, gas and agricultural land and an attractive and fast growing consumer market. The country ranks 13 on the list of the largest oil producing countries, well ahead of Norway, Algeria, Angola, Kazakhstan and Qatar.
With 179 million inhabitants Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa and the 7th most populous country in the world. Being the 2nd largest economy in Africa, Nigeria is expected to overtake South Africa in the near future. No wonder that it is listed among the ‘next 11’ economies and expected to become one of the world’s top 20 economies by 2050.

Substantial institutional support and strong partners:
Austria: Advantage Austria at the Austrian Embassy in Lagos
Germany: AHK Nigeria – the Delegation of German Industry and Commerce in Nigeria
Germany: Nigerian-German Business Association – NGBA
Ms Nella Hengstler,
Commercial Counsellor with the Austrian Embassy in Lagos:
“Nigeria will be the next global manufacturing hub. The sheer size of Nigeria’s market combined with its large and young work force will attract massive investments in the manufacturing industry. Machines and production materials will continue to be imported, though. I therefore welcome and support agrofood & plastprintpack Nigeria 2015 as it is important for European suppliers to be on ground early before the real run on Nigeria starts”.
