The fifth edition brings regional and international suppliers, industry experts, and decision-makers together across poultry, dairy, and agriculture
VIV Africa 2026 returns to the Kigali Convention Centre, Rwanda, on October 7–8, bringing together the complete feed to food value chain for the poultry, dairy, and agriculture industries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The exhibition will be preceded by the VIV Africa Leadership Conference on October 6, creating three consecutive days of industry exchange, knowledge sharing, and business connections in Kigali.
With poultry at its core and a growing focus on dairy, the 2026 edition will feature over 150 exhibitors across 1,653 m² of exhibition space, together with over 45 speakers and 120+ industry leaders.
Exhibitors and technologies on display
The VIV Africa 2026 exhibition is fully booked, bringing together suppliers from across the animal protein value chain. Visitors can explore technologies, products, and services spanning animal health, breeding & hatching, feed ingredients & additives, feed and grain technology, farm production, processing, and food engineering.
Across the show floor, visitors can compare suppliers and discuss their specific production needs face to face. Solutions range from veterinary products, diagnostics, vaccines, and biosecurity to genetics and hatchery technology, feed ingredients and nutritional solutions, milling and feed-processing systems, housing and climate control, automation, farm equipment, and downstream processing technologies. The Dairy Pavilion further extends the scope of the event beyond poultry and reflects the increasing focus on dairy production and related technologies.
Knowledge sharing continues throughout the two exhibition days, with conferences, technical sessions, and workshops covering poultry, dairy, feed, animal health, farming, and business growth. The program allows visitors to combine time on the exhibition floor with practical and technical insights from regional and international specialists.
The newly released VIV Africa 2026 Show Preview brings these elements together in one guide, giving visitors an overview of the exhibition, conference highlights, business programs, and practical information to help them prepare for Kigali.
