Africa holds over one-third of the world's livestock population, and livestock contributes up to 40% of the continent's agricultural GDP.[1] Yet despite this, Africa accounts for only 6% of global meat production.[2] Across Sub-Saharan Africa, food losses in the agricultural supply chain sit at nearly 20%, the highest of any region in the world.[3]
The numbers tell a story that is hard to ignore. A continent rich in land, labour, and livestock, feeding over 1.4 billion people, yet consistently producing below its potential. By 2050, the demand for poultry meat in Sub-Saharan Africa alone is projected to increase by over 200%.[4]
The resources exist. The talent exists. What has been missing is the right space for the right people to come together.

Some venues host events. Others carry them. Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium belongs to the second category.
Built on the shores of North End Lake, this R2 billion world-class facility was purpose-built as one of three coastal stadiums for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, hosting eight matches across the tournament. It has since hosted the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, elite Springbok rugby, and the largest events on the Eastern Cape calendar.
With a capacity of 46,000 and 150 corporate hospitality suites, its striking petal-shaped roof and modern infrastructure make it a statement of ambition for the Africa Meat Expo 2026.
