SIALY is a response to the public authorities’ constant call to promote Cameroon’s agricultural and agro-industrial potential. At a time when the country is firmly committed to second-generation agriculture — more mechanised and therefore more productive — the International Agri-food Industry Show of Yaoundé presents itself as a true showcase for the sector. Unique of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, SIALY offers its participants several objectives, including: selling the Cameroon brand; revealing Cameroonian and international innovations in the agri-food industry to the general public; creating a forum for exchange between financiers and project developers; encouraging a competitive environment…
In 2013, the 2nd Yaoundé Agri-food Show welcomed nearly 100,000 visitors and 120 exhibitors, including 61 private companies, 34 CIGs (Common Initiative Groups), 12 public and semi-public institutions, 3 international organisations and 5 countries (France, Senegal, Germany, Benin and Chad).
The ambitions of SIALY 2015, given the strong demand for participation and the confirmations received three months before the event: more than 300 exhibitors and at least 200,000 visitors are expected. This bodes well for a resounding success.
