Pan African Global Trade and Investment Week - Food and Fashion

2019 marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first enslaved Pan Africans landing in the King James British Colony, today's Virginia.

A Taste of Pan African Global Trade and Investment Week will acknowledge the ending of our enslavement and affliction by celebrating the abundance in the African Union and Caribbean Common Market through food and fashion.

Join our regional celebration of Pan African food and fashion that has long been associated with traditional Pan African Agriculture industries.

In recent years, there has been a rise of Pan African designers who create high fashion runway styles and everyday streetwear that is worn throughout the world.

A cornerstone of Pan African development includes drawing investment and creating jobs in value added Agriculture industries.

How can the African Union utilize the remaining years of the Africa Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) to grow Agriculture based industries?

As of 2015, Sub-Saharan Africa's combined apparel and footwear market, was reportedly worth more than $30 billion.

African and Caribbean nations have the potential to become major players in garment manufacturing and exporting Pan African fashion.

How can the 6th Region of the African Union get more involved in agribusiness development here in Sacramento and across the African Diaspora?

Join us kick off 2019 Pan African Global Trade and Investment Week, Sacramento, California.
