Day 3 of the Propak West Africa Summit 2026 brings together manufacturers, regulators, investors, food safety experts, and sustainability stakeholders for a solutions-driven programme focused on financing industrial growth, strengthening food systems, and accelerating circular packaging outcomes in Nigeria.
The day will feature a dedicated Access to Finance segment, equipping manufacturers and SMEs with practical insights into navigating development finance, government support programmes, investment opportunities, and financial instruments designed to unlock growth across the food processing and packaging sectors.
In collaboration with the Nigerian Institute of Food Science and Technology (NIFST), the programme will also spotlight critical conversations around food safety, nutrition, quality assurance, processing standards, and innovation, reinforcing the importance of safe, compliant, and sustainable food systems in an increasingly competitive market.
A key highlight of Day 3 will be the industry stakeholder session hosted by the Recycling Association of Nigeria (RAN) titled: “From Market Placement to Material Recovery: Closing the Data Gap in Nigeria’s Circular Packaging Value Chain.” This high-level discussion will convene stakeholders across the packaging ecosystem to address the disconnect between packaging introduced into the market and materials actually recovered within Nigeria’s recycling infrastructure. The session will explore strategies to improve Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) compliance, transparency, data harmonisation, and evidence-based decision-making, while examining how digital systems and common reporting standards can strengthen collaboration between producers, recyclers, and regulators.
Designed to move beyond dialogue into practical action, Day 3 offers attendees valuable insights into the policies, partnerships, and financial mechanisms needed to build a more resilient, compliant, and circular manufacturing ecosystem in West Africa.
