Introducing Food Business Africa TV – Your home for digital events, interviews, webinars and more

The new normal, has meant all of us – companies, teams and individuals – have been forced to find new ways of working, learning and interacting with each other, be it at home or in the factories across Africa and the World. However, as we have been forced to change our ways, a few things remain part of parcel about us: the need to keep in touch with each other, network and learn with and from each other and to keep on discovering new ideas and technologies

IN COMES FOOD BUSINESS AFRICA TV!

Food Business Africa TV is our virtual platform for digital summits, webinars, talks and other digital events that are focused on discovering the pulse of the developments, opportunities and challenges in Africa’s agriculture, food manufacturing and retail industry; as well as the changing consumer trends and investments landscape.

Through regular engagements with leading news makers from across Africa and beyond, we look forward to deep discussions full of discovery, learning and networking.
