Rwanda strengthens presence at IFE London

Rwanda returns to the International Food & Drink Event in London with a sharper company presence and a clear trade goal.

A trade fair built for buyers

IFE 2026 runs from 30 March to 1 April at ExCeL London as part of Food, Drink & Hospitality Week. The organiser expects around 25,000 verified trade visitors, more than 100 speakers and 13 product sections. The audience includes retailers, wholesalers, hospitality buyers, distributors, importers and exporters.

Rwandan companies on the ground

This year, Rwanda’s presence includes, amongst others: Nova Coffee Ltd, Rwamatamu Coffee and Nyamurinda Coffee Growers Ltd. Nova Coffee grows red Bourbon Arabica in Gicumbi and works with more than 2,800 smallholder farmers. Rwamatamu Coffee focuses on specialty coffee with strong attention to quality, traceability and sustainable production. Nyamurinda Coffee Growers is a women-led company that supports smallholder farmers, especially women and youth, while exporting specialty Arabica coffee.

Why it matters

The United Kingdom remains Rwanda’s number one export destination for agricultural products. At IFE London, these companies can strengthen existing relationships, meet new buyers and position Rwandan coffee with decision-makers who matter. This return to London gives Rwanda another practical chance to turn visibility into longer-term trade connections.
