In today's Market's slot we turn our attention to the Organics and Naturals Expo that took place in Cape Town, South Africa recently from the 17th to the 19th . This annual event features exhibitors across food and beverage, beauty and personal care, health and wellness, and sustainable lifestyle product categories. The Johannesburg leg will take place later this year in August 2026. The natural and organic sector in South Africa is currently valued at about 60 million dollars annually and continues to expand as consumers increasingly prioritise health, sustainability, and locally produced goods. International export opportunities, particularly to the American and Chinese markets, further enhance the sector's growth prospects.
