The Ghana Food Expo (AFS) is one of the largest professional exhibitions in Ghana. The Ghana Food Expo (AFS) has received strong support from various organizations including the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sino-Ghana Friendship Association, Ghana's Ministry of Business Development, Ghana Tourism Authority, Ghana Investment Promotion Center, and the Ghana-China Friendship Association.

The food market in Ghana is very promising, with the local food processing industry being underdeveloped. Although the government levies high tariffs on imported foods, a significant portion of Ghana's food is imported, mainly from China. The country does not have stringent requirements for food, as long as the products meet Chinese food standards, they can be sold there.

The growing population of young and middle-aged people in Ghana by 50% has led to an increasing demand for carbonated drinks, juices, and functional beverages. The development of tourism, Ghana being one of the top ten tourist countries in Africa, changes in lifestyles of middle and high-income families, an increase in fast-food chains and supermarkets, and the vast market of 250 million in West Africa have all contributed to a steady rise in imports of food and beverages from China. The Ghana Food Expo (AFS) is the best trade platform for Chinese food companies to enter Ghana and even the entire African market.
