World Tobacco Africa 2027

World Tobacco Africa is a B2B exhibition and conference for suppliers to Africa's leaf tobacco and tobacco processing industry, held in Johannesburg, South Africa, and co-located with the World Vape Show.

Serving suppliers to the leaf tobacco and tobacco processing industry, the event covers leaf and raw materials, agricultural machinery, tobacco processing and packaging machinery, packaging and printing materials, testing and laboratory equipment, flavours and fragrances, trade and distribution, cigarette and cigar manufacturing, and shisha and next-generation tobacco. It provides a meeting point for manufacturers, equipment and material suppliers, distributors and industry decision-makers.

The co-located African Leaf Tobacco Conference features more than thirty speakers and organizes networking lunches, social activities and factory visits, with discussions on African leaf production, processing and supply chains. As Africa's tobacco production, processing and distribution market continues to expand, with manufacturing capacity, international investment and supply chains developing, the event gives participants a platform to understand the regional market and find suppliers and channel partners.

The event is operated by Quartz Business Events. The organization has more than thirty years of experience supporting the tobacco industry, has long organized exhibitions and conferences in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, and operates brands including World Tobacco, World Shisha, TABEXPO and World Vape Show.
