Maxima Media Group launches maiden edition of Foodies Choice Awards
Maxima Media Group officially launched the maiden edition of the Foodies Choice Awards on July 17, 2026, in Africa. This platform is described as a "first-of-its-kind Pan-African recognition platform that places the power of recognition directly in the hands of consumers while celebrating excellence across the continent's rapidly expanding food value chain."
The launch opened nominations across five pioneering markets: Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda. The awards are designed to recognize governments, farmers, agribusinesses, chefs, food brands, hospitality operators, media personalities, and innovators shaping Africa's food economy. Under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama's administration, Ghana has renewed its commitment to repositioning agriculture as a major engine of economic growth, food security, and industrial development. Agriculture contributes approximately one-fifth of Ghana's national GDP, employs a significant share of the workforce, and is central to export earnings through commodities such as cocoa, horticulture, and other high-value crops. The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts has also elevated Ghanaian cuisine.
