Connect with the World at Africa’s Big Seven Food and Beverage Trade Show

Many South Africans who live outside of urban areas have no choice but to buy all their food, groceries and daily necessities from you, the independent shop owner and retailer. The more products you have available in your shop or supermarket, the more customers you attract and the more money you make.

The best place to find exciting new products for your business is at the Pan African Retail Trade exhibition, a trade show aimed directly at independent business and shop owners like yourself. The Pan African Retail Trade exhibition is one of seven combined shows that make up Africa’s Big Seven (AB7), the biggest food and beverage trade Expo in all of Africa.

The Pan African Retail Trade exhibition provides you with a choice from a wide range of products, from dry goods like clothing and fabrics, to groceries, frozen foods, convenience foods, fresh produce, confectionery and baked products, liquor, drinks and beverages, and fast moving consumer goods like soap, detergents, dental care products, deodorants and cosmetics.

AB7 happens at the same time and place as the Southern African International Trade Exhibition (SAITEX), which is the biggest general goods trade show in Africa. Both of these big trade shows take place at Gallagher Convention centre in Midrand, Johannesburg, from 17-19 July 2011.

Entrance to the expos is free. You can pre-register on line to visit and join the Business Matchmaking programme which is also free. The exhibitions open on a Sunday to cater for busy business owners like yourself.
