Saudi Food Trade & Manufacturing Shows Unite in Jeddah 2026

Saudi Arabia is bringing two of its leading food-sector events together under one roof in Jeddah, uniting food trade and food processing on a single integrated platform. The Saudifood Show and Saudifood Manufacturing will run side by side at Jeddah Superdome from 27 to 29 September 2026, connecting the commercial and industrial sides of the food and beverage sector.

The move is designed to strengthen the Kingdom's food security, industrialization, and trade goals by linking domestic manufacturing capacity with local and export market demand in one venue. Visitors will be able to explore processing technologies, ingredients, packaging, and logistics alongside brand owners, distributors, retailers, and foodservice buyers during a single visit.

What each event covers

Saudifood Manufacturing 2026 focuses on the full food manufacturing value chain, including ingredients, processing equipment, packaging, automation, quality control, and factory solutions. The Saudifood Show highlights global food brands, importers, distributors, retailers, foodservice and hospitality buyers, and export promotion. While trade-focused editions of The Saudifood Show continue at Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Centre in the capital, the 2026 co-location with Saudifood Manufacturing takes place in Jeddah.

The platform is backed by a strategic partnership with the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), anchoring the events within the Kingdom's industrial and logistics ecosystem. Riyadh editions of The Saudifood Show are held under the patronage of the Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, reflecting high-level government support.

The combined platform targets food and beverage manufacturers, processors, packaging and automation firms, ingredient suppliers, cold chain and logistics companies, and technology providers, as well as retail chains, wholesalers, foodservice operators, hospitality buyers, and traders. For residents and businesses across the Kingdom, the unified event signals continued investment in local food production, wider product availability, and new opportunities across the food supply chain.
