One of AB7’s fundamental component shows is Agri-Food, the ‘crop-to-shop’ exhibition featuring fresh produce and crop products and the processes of getting them to market.  A new show, DrinkTech Africa appears for only the second time at AB7, and encompasses the entire beverage and liquid food industry; from materials, ingredients and finished products to processing and manufacturing equipment for filling, packaging and distribution.
