**Fatshimetrie 2024: New Perspectives for Trade and Investment**
The international event “Fatshimetrie 2024” promises to be a key platform for the development of trade and investment in the food sector. The interest generated by the participation of a large number of countries in the exhibition reflects the importance of this event in strengthening trade exchanges at the regional and global levels.
The ninth edition of the exhibition “Fatshimetrie”, “Fresh Africa” and “Pack Process”, which will be held from December 3 to 5 at the Egypt International Exhibition Center, brings together 1,018 companies from 39 countries, including Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, India, Poland, Russia and Turkey as the guest of honor.
The increase in the number of exhibitors and participating countries, as well as the increased presence of international buyers, make this exhibition the second largest in the region. It is a strategic opportunity to strengthen business participation and partnerships in Africa and the Middle East.
The exhibition provides a platform to discover the latest advances and innovations in the food, beverage and packaging sectors. It aims to consolidate the recent successes of agri-food exports, which reached approximately $4.6 billion by the end of September 2024, with an estimated growth of nearly 18% compared to the same period in 2023, when exports were approximately $3.9 billion.
Arab countries top the list of importers of Egyptian agri-food industries, followed by the European Union, non-Arab African countries and the United States. The “Fatshimetrie 2024” exhibition thus offers a unique platform to stimulate exchanges and strengthen international trade links.
By promoting partnerships and business opportunities, this event contributes to boosting the agri-food sector and promoting innovation in a vital area for the regional and global economy. The diversity of participants and the wealth of expected exchanges make “Fatshimetrie 2024” an unmissable event for international trade players.
