Food and hospitality trade fairs

Food and hospitality fairs cover food processing, ingredients, retail food, bakery, catering, restaurants, hotels and hospitality equipment. Most are trade events where suppliers meet importers, distributors and hotel buyers, held mostly in October and November.

The sector covers food and food processing, ingredients, retail food, bakery, catering, restaurants and hotels, and hospitality equipment. Exhibitors are producers, ingredient suppliers, machinery makers and equipment sellers. Visitors are importers, distributors, retail buyers, chefs, hotel purchasers and food technologists. Beverage-led shows belong to the wine and beverages sector, and primary production belongs to agriculture, so this page stays with food and the hospitality trade.

SIAL InterFOOD in Jakarta is an international food and beverage exhibition, and Macao hosts FBAF Asia and the Asia International Hotel Supplies and Catering Expo.
