International trade fairs are crucial for B2B marketplaces, especially in the food and agriculture sectors. They provide an excellent opportunity for market research and networking with global companies. This year, we have curated a list of the top six food fairs around the world that you should add to your calendar.
Gulfood stands as the premier food and beverage exhibition globally. This year, it’s set to be larger than ever with over 5,500 companies confirming their participation.
The fair is scheduled at the Dubai World Trade Center. As per the press release, the focus will be on ag-tech innovations, the growing use of AI in food production, strategies to reduce food loss and waste, public-private partnerships, and investments in alternative proteins like cultured meat.
For wholesalers and retailers in the Food B2B Marketplace and Agriculture B2B Marketplace, Gulfood is a must-visit. It offers the latest industry trends and valuable insights, along with the opportunity to connect with potential partners.
Freskon, although smaller in scale, is a significant trade show dedicated to fresh fruits and vegetables. It attracts exhibitors from across Europe, making it a vital event in the Agriculture B2B Marketplace. This year, it will host 220 companies from various countries including Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Bulgaria.
Alongside Freskon, the FreshConMarket will be held on April 11th and 12th. This event provides an opportunity for professionals in the Food B2B Marketplace to meet with the head buyers of leading European supermarket chains. If you’re a fruit or vegetable manufacturer or wholesaler looking to penetrate the European market, this event should be on your radar.
Fruit Attraction is a globally recognized fair in the agri-food sector, and this year it’s expanding its reach to Latin America. IFEMA Madrid and Fiera Milano have collaborated to host the inaugural Fruit Attraction exhibition in Sao Paolo, marking a significant milestone in the Agriculture B2B Marketplace.
The event, spanning over 9000 square meters, is expected to host 200 exhibitors from around the world. While the primary focus will be on the export and import of fruits and vegetables, and fresh food logistics, it will also serve as a platform to foster cross-border trade between America and Europe in the B2B Marketplace.
The Africa Food Show, one of the continent’s largest food exhibitions, is set to host over 300 exhibitors from 12 countries this year. With an expected turnout of more than 9000 visitors, it’s an event not to be missed if you’re looking to expand your business in Africa and beyond.
This show serves as an excellent B2B platform for wholesale producers and buyers in the Food B2B Marketplace and Agriculture B2B Marketplace. It caters to a wide range of products including dairy, meat, poultry, pulses, grains, cereals, and more. Over the course of three days, participants will have ample opportunities to interact, discuss partnership agreements, sign agency and distributorship contracts, and develop new market strategies and cooperation procedures.
Asia Fruit Logistica, a comprehensive platform for the fresh fruit industry, encompasses the entire supply chain, service providers, and the latest technologies and products. It offers an opportunity to forge new business relationships, establish high-level connections, and gather essential market data on every aspect of the fresh produce trade across Asia.
In the previous year, the show drew exhibitors from 43 countries and 13,000 visitors. This year, the organizers anticipate similar success. Mark your calendars to visit in September.
