The Organic & Natural Products Expo Africa will take place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from 28-30 March 2025, building on the success of last year’s event. With over 923 trade registrations already confirmed, participation is expected to exceed expectations.
Strong Industry Response
“The response has been remarkable,” says Warren Hickinbotham, Head of Sponsorship and Partnerships. Several exhibitors, including China Herb, Pegasus, and Go Bamboo, are returning after experiencing significant business growth. A large-scale digital marketing campaign, social media promotions, and industry partnerships have driven strong engagement. A radio campaign on Smile FM and outdoor advertising in February and March will further boost visitor interest.
International Presence & Expanding Categories
The 2025 edition will welcome exhibitors from Cameroon, the UAE, the UK, Kenya, Pakistan, Nigeria, Ghana, Lesotho, Botswana, Sierra Leone, Germany, Congo, Namibia, Russia, and the Czech Republic, reinforcing its global significance.
Notable product categories include organic textiles such as Turkish textiles, organic cotton, and mohair, as well as green nutrition and acupuncture. These will be featured alongside established categories such as health, home, beauty, food and beverages, lifestyle, and baby and kids’ products.
Empowering SMEs
The SME Showcase Pavilion, supported by Standard Bank, will provide small and medium-sized enterprises a valuable platform to introduce their innovative products to trade buyers and consumers. To make participation more accessible for emerging brands, a subsidised trading table concept (R4,250 excl. VAT) has been introduced, generating strong interest. Standard Bank continues to expand its support for SMEs, and other corporates are encouraged to set up their own SME pavilions.
Industry & Government Support
The expo receives strong backing from key industry organisations, including the Department of Trade, Industry & Competition, the Industry and Small Enterprise Development and Finance Agency, the South African Organic Sector Organisation, Organic Wines South Africa, and the Western Cape Department of Economic Development, among others. Their continued support underscores the growing importance of the organic and natural products sector.
Conference & Networking Opportunities
A structured conference program will provide insights for both businesses and consumers. Topics will include export strategies, financing for organic businesses, and supply chain challenges, while consumer-focused discussions will cover organic nutrition trends, natural skincare benefits, and sustainable living practices. Attendees can also look forward to interactive demonstrations, expert talks, and networking sessions with industry leaders.
Visitors can explore a wide range of organic and natural products, from health and wellness solutions to sustainable textiles, beauty, and food products.
