Food safety remains one of the World’s biggest challenge, in many ways standing in the way of the countries to feed rising populations, hindering economic growth and affecting regional and international trade – especially in Africa.

According to the World Bank, productivity losses at the global level associated with food-borne diseases in low and middle-income countries is estimated to cost US$95.2 billion per year, and the annual cost of treating food-borne illnesses is estimated at US$15 billion, with the overall public health and domestic economic costs of unsafe food at 20 times the trade related costs for developing countries.

In a Continent with the heaviest food safety burden, World Health Organization (WHO) places the global health burden of food-borne disease on par with HIV/AIDS, TB, or malaria, or an estimated 137,000 lives every year in Africa.

Attending the Africa Food Safety & Quality Summit opens new perspectives on the future of food safety in Africa, better than any other event in Africa. You can not afford to miss attending Africa’s most impactful food safety event.
