VIV Africa 2024 prepares to transform Poultry Africa into complete Feed to Food experience

VIV Africa, the leading trade show for agriculture, dairy and poultry professionals in Sub-Saharan Africa, has announced its much-anticipated transformation from Poultry Africa

The fourth edition of the show is set to take place from 2-3 October at the prestigious Kigali Convention Centre (KCC), welcoming global stakeholders and industry leaders from across the value chain. Poultry Africa is now transitioning to VIV Africa in 2024 as it now offers a comprehensive showcase that covers the entire spectrum of animal protein production. With a focus on animal production and especially the production of Poultry layers and Poultry broilers, the event anticipates over 130 exhibitors demonstrating cutting-edge technologies and services. In a designated expansion, VIV Africa 2024 introduces two new sectors: Agriculture and Dairy, with the Horti Agri Next (HAN) Pavilion and the Dairy Pavilion respectively, bringing together an even more diverse range of industry players.

On 1 October, VIV Africa 2024 will feature the Leadership Conference, which will gather thought leaders, industry and knowledge experts, to engage in insightful discussions, exploring the latest trends, challenges, and opportunities in the agriculture, dairy, and poultry sectors. 

The main priority of VIV Africa 2024 is the development of a robust business platform that creates value for both visitors and exhibitors. That is naturally complemented by a knowledge-sharing content programme that encompasses the core sectors of poultry, agriculture and dairy, with a focus on technical best practices, market outlooks and pertinent themes such as water management. Break-out sessions will ensure that every sector receives dedicated attention, providing attendees with valuable insights and knowledge.

The show is supported by some of the most important bodies and organisations from within the industry – Ministry of Agriculture in Rwanda (MINAGRI), the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Rwanda Poultry Industry Association, the Rwanda Development Board, Dutch Poultry Centre (DPC), Global Dairy Farmers, TRAIDE, Vetworks and World Poultry Science Association (WPSA) among others.
