The Saudi Food Show 2026 is set to bring together the global food and beverage industry in Jeddah from 27 to 29 September 2026, providing a major platform for food producers, brands, suppliers, retailers, wholesalers, foodservice operators, distributors and industry professionals to explore new business, sourcing and investment opportunities in the Kingdom.
Held in strategic partnership with the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), the event is expected to welcome more than 1,000 exhibitors and over 25,000 industry professionals from more than 95 countries. The show reflects Saudi Arabia’s growing importance as a global food market and its efforts under Vision 2030 to strengthen food security, localisation, manufacturing capabilities and international trade.
The 2026 edition will showcase a broad spectrum of the food and beverage industry, including food products, ingredients, beverages, fresh and processed foods, bakery and confectionery, dairy, meat and poultry, snacks, health and wellness products, and other food categories. The show will provide an opportunity for international suppliers and food brands to connect directly with buyers and decision-makers across retail, wholesale, foodservice and distribution.
Leading food companies and brands participating in the event include Almarai, Arla, Lactalis, BRF, Tanmiah, NADEC, Savola, First Mills, Americana and Seara Food Middle East (JBS), highlighting the breadth and strength of the regional and international participation.
International representation will remain a key feature of The Saudi Food Show, with 80% of exhibitors expected to be international and 55% participating for the first time. Major pavilion participation will come from Türkiye, India, Jordan, the United States, Uzbekistan, Tunisia and Italy. New exhibiting markets including Uzbekistan, Slovakia, Sri Lanka and Hong Kong will further expand the show's international footprint. Dedicated participation will also include Pakistan through TDAP, Brazilian Beef through ABIEC and Japan through JETRO.
The Saudi Food Show will serve as a meeting point for global food suppliers and buyers across retail, wholesale and foodservice, supporting product discovery, sourcing, distribution partnerships and market expansion. The event will also create opportunities for companies to understand changing consumer preferences, identify emerging food trends and explore the commercial potential of the rapidly developing Saudi market.
The decision to host the 2026 edition at Jeddah Superdome adds further strategic significance. Jeddah is one of Saudi Arabia’s most important commercial and logistics centres and serves as a gateway to markets across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Europe. The city handles approximately 75% of Saudi Arabia’s maritime trade, providing strong connectivity for businesses involved in food imports, exports and regional distribution.
With its extensive international participation and strong buyer focus, The Saudi Food Show 2026 is positioned as an important business platform for companies looking to enter or expand within Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East food and beverage market. The event will offer three days of networking, product discovery, business matchmaking and opportunities to build strategic partnerships across the region’s evolving food economy.
