From April 19 to 25, 2027, the 10th edition will take placeth The SIALY edition, the largest sub-regional event for post-harvest production open to the international food industry. A coherent, internationalized, and innovative offering

An economic event of the Cameroonian and African agricultural sector, aimed at promoting and strengthening the development of agriculture and the agro-food industry, which are major concerns of African countries in general, and Central Africa in particular, SIALY 2027 is repositioning itself to continue its activities and its contribution to the fight against underdevelopment, unemployment, and poverty, boost food self-sufficiency, economic development, financial resources, growth, and the satisfaction of the population's needs.

The Cameroonian Head of State, by deciding to relaunch the organization of the Ebolawa Agropastoral Show in 2011, demonstrated the Government's commitment to revitalizing the agricultural sector. Industrial Agriculture – Industrial Transformation.

Since 2010, SIALY has established itself over the editions as a major tool serving the Agro-Food Industries (AFI) and fostering dialogue between industrialists and suppliers. Born from the desire to promote the agro-food industry, SIALY invites AFI professionals to discover a qualitative and quantitative offering.

Au menu : Pertinence, cohérence et créativité dans un espace privilégié idéal pour interagir en direct, face à face avec les principaux acteurs du secteur.

Le Cameroun est aujourd’hui face à un double défi notamment, l’amélioration de la production en qualité/quantité et la transformation de ses produits locaux afin de les commercialiser à l’extérieur.

Le SIALY est donc une contribution subséquente pour une meilleure visibilité des actions des pouvoirs publics par le renforcement des capacités matérielles, techniques et financières des opérateurs du secteur de l’industrie agroalimentaire.

  1. The agro-food industry consists of all industrial activities that transform raw materials from agriculture, livestock, or fishing into food products primarily intended for human consumption. It should not be confused with agro-industry, which includes, in addition to agro-food, the transformation of raw materials from agriculture, fishing, and forestry into non-food products, such as biofuels, biomaterials, and industrial biotechnology ('white biotechnology').
  2. Several major activity categories are generally distinguished in the agro-food industry:
  • Meat industry
  • Manufacture of processed food products
  • Manufacture of cereal-based products
  • Manufacture of oils, fats, and margarines
  • Sugar industry
  • Manufacture of various food products (mushrooms, vegetables and fruits, etc.)
  • Manufacture of beverages and alcohol
  • Processing of seafood products, etc.

Interest of SIALY

SIALY is an exclusive international event organized in Cameroon, bringing together all the stakeholders from the agriculture and agro-food sectors, both locally and internationally. This uniqueness gives it a particular and significant interest.

Indeed, the opportunities offered by the holding of SIALY are essential at all levels:

SIALY brings together industry stakeholders to discuss issues related to the agro-food industry. The resolutions from these discussions could serve as a working basis for public authorities.

Moreover, SIALY helps reduce unemployment and poverty by offering graduates and job seekers the opportunity to discover a highly promising sector.

SIALY should therefore help stimulate the creation of production structures, markets, and ultimately, wealth creation.
