Organisers of Lagos Veg Fest (LVF), weekend, announced plans to hold its event and create business opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the country.
LVF is a Vegan & Vegetarian Festival, scheduled for October 10 to 12, 2014 at the Freedom Park Lagos, with about 2000 participants and about 30 exhibitors of food and innovative health, green products and services.
Also, LVF will usher in some Nigeria’s innovative businesses in the health and wellness industry, international guests, generally people interested in vegan and vegetarian lifestyle and thought leaders in sustainable living.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lagos, Founder, Veggie Victory/organiser, LVF, Mr. Hakeem Jimo, said that the event will bring together people who make deliberate choices for healthy lifestyle, saying, “We want to show everyone in Nigeria that a healthy lifestyle is not only better for you but also delicious and fun.
“Research indicates there is a growing demand and market for sustainable lifestyle products in Nigeria with social values increasingly becoming a major factor in people’s life and also brand perception. The LVF is a unique opportunity for Nigerians to experience food and products for a healthier lifestyle and organisations to connect to 21stcentury movement for healthy and sustainable living,”he said.
A consultant at GoodLifestylist, Ms. Simi Lawoyin, added that the steadily growing awareness is a big opportunity for start up companies, saying, “We see people coming into the markets with fresh juice, salads, packaged fruits and other healthy products.”
