About the Trade Fair

About WAFE Lagos

WAFE Lagos (West Africa Food Expo) is West Africa's largest food and beverage trade fair, held annually each June at Landmark Centre Lagos since 2018.

Organized by Cems Conferences & Events, WAFE Lagos gathers 10,000+ visitors and 250+ exhibitors — connecting African importers, food manufacturers, retail chains, and distribution networks across Nigeria and the broader ECOWAS region.

Strategic Importance

Why WAFE Lagos Matters

WAFE Lagos is the dominant West African trade event for food sourcing and procurement — Nigerian importers, food manufacturers, and retail chains converge here to validate suppliers and set annual sourcing strategies. Nigeria is Africa's largest food market with strong demand for basmati rice, spices, and food chemicals; Indian exporters navigate NAFDAC (Nigeria Food & Drug Authority), Halal certification (SANHA Nigeria), and ECOWAS/ETLS trade frameworks for market entry.

Key buyers: Nigerian food importers · West African distributors · ECOWAS retail chains · African food brand procurement · HoReCa procurement
