The Saudifood Show and Saudifood Manufacturing will co-locate for the first time in Jeddah from September 27 to 29, 2026, bringing commercial and industrial segments of the food and beverage industry together under one roof.
Held at the Jeddah Superdome in strategic partnership with the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), the joint event addresses global supply chain shifts, food security goals, and domestic manufacturing growth. First Mills and Durrah Advanced serve as Gold Sponsors for the commercial exhibition.
Expansion of The Saudifood Show in Western Province
Saudi Arabia has directed more than SAR 187.5 billion toward food security, logistics infrastructure, and industrial capacity under Vision 2030. Consequently, the co-located exhibitions are expected to host more than 1,000 exhibitors and over 25,000 trade visitors from 50 countries, facilitating new commercial agreements and local production partnerships across the Kingdom.
The event spans the entire food value chain. Specifically, sectors on display include raw ingredients, food processing machinery, packaging technology, supply chain operations, wholesale distribution, and retail food services.
Global Participation and International Pavilions
International participants represent 80 percent of all exhibitors, with 55 percent participating for the first time. The Saudifood Show includes major domestic and global food producers such as Almarai, Arla, Lactalis, BRF, Tanmiah, NADEC, Savola, First Mills, Americana, and Seara Food Middle East (JBS).
Saudifood Manufacturing gathers industrial machinery and processing suppliers including Bunge, JBT Marel, Middleby, MULTIVAC, NAPCO, Zamil, ULMA, and Provisur. In addition, national pavilions will feature suppliers from Türkiye, India, Jordan, the United States, Uzbekistan, Tunisia, and Italy. New country pavilions include Slovakia, Sri Lanka’s tea sector, Pakistan through TDAP, Brazilian Beef through ABIEC, and Japan through JETRO.
Strategic Role of Jeddah Logistics Hub
Relocating the events to Jeddah connects participants directly with the primary trade gateway of Saudi Arabia. Jeddah manages roughly 75 percent of the country’s maritime commerce and houses its largest food production cluster, providing immediate access to shipping lanes across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
Furthermore, MODON’s partnership supports industrial tenant growth and connects international suppliers with local manufacturing zones across the country.
Connecting Production and Trade Channels
The dual exhibition format links commercial purchasing with industrial capability. While The Saudifood Show provides retail and wholesale buyers with sourcing channels, Saudifood Manufacturing delivers processing equipment, ingredients, and packaging solutions to regional factories.
