About AGJEC
Know more about AGJEC
The Africa Gem, Jewellery Exhibition and Conference (AGJEC) aims to showcase the wealth of gemstone occurrence in Africa and to provide a platform to foster value creation, maximisation and intra-African trade opportunities from Africa's gemstones. AGJEC will focus on Member States' support for their women miners and traders, and women-led artisanal and small-and-medium-scale enterprises (ASMMEs) and associations will get a platform to show case their gemstones and jewellery in the exhibition pavilion which will create a marketplace for local, regional and international buyers to source directly from the countries of origin.
