CONNECTING THE AGRIFOOD
BUSINESS VALUE CHAIN
Market Access Africa (MAA)
is the global meeting place
for buyers and sellers across the
entire agrifood business value chain​
MAA will impact companies' bottom line by improving access to regional and international markets, technologies, inputs, handling and storage, as well as tailored trade finance solutions.
Organised by the African Agri Council NPC (AAC) in partnership with African governments and leading agribusinesses, MAA will provide a global platform for stakeholders to identify the latest technologies that will raise the continent’s food and agricultural productivity, link to trading services and discuss policy reforms in order to curb Africa’s annual import bill.

A KEY CHALLENGE IN AFRICAN FOOD AND AGRICULTURE
The question of market access is of crucial importance for Africa. African countries have continued to put emphasis on this question since the establishment of the World Trade Organization (WTO), given how crucial market access is for their development agenda – more so agriculture development.
The Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA) and the Malabo Declaration have both emphasised boosting intra-Africa trade in agricultural commodities and services, and as such presenting a real opportunity for Africa to emerge as a big winner in the current global environment.
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
Market Access Africa is the industry’s MUST-ATTEND event, providing the ideal setting to develop relationships, explore ideas and expand into new markets.
