Food Show South Africa has rapidly established itself as one of the region’s leading international trade exhibitions dedicated to the food, beverage, food ingredients, food processing, packaging machinery, and packaging solutions industries. Combining product showcases, business networking, and targeted matchmaking opportunities, the exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to South Africa’s dynamic food sector and the rapidly expanding African market.
Supported by the South African National Halaal Authority (SANHA) and the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI), the exhibition offers an unparalleled platform for manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, importers, exporters, retailers, and industry professionals to connect, collaborate, and explore new business opportunities across the continent.
The 2026 edition will provide a complete industry platform covering the entire value chain—from food raw materials and ingredients to processed foods, food technology, food processing equipment, packaging machinery, and innovative packaging solutions.
Building on the achievements of its inaugural edition, Food Show South Africa 2025 welcomed exhibitors from five countries and successfully reinforced its position as a flagship trade event for the food, beverage, processing, and packaging sectors in South Africa. The exhibition generated significant business opportunities, enabling exhibitors to establish valuable partnerships and strengthen commercial relationships with qualified buyers and industry stakeholders. According to participating companies, the three-day event facilitated productive meetings with decision-makers actively seeking new products, technologies, and long-term business collaborations.
The upcoming 2026 edition is expected to attract around 100 exhibitors from 7–8 countries and welcome approximately 2,500 trade visitors, including distributors, wholesalers, retailers, importers, exporters, food service professionals, manufacturers, and government representatives from across Africa and beyond.
The exhibition will bring together a comprehensive range of exhibitors from across the global food and beverage industry, showcasing the latest products, innovations, and technologies. Participating companies will represent sectors including dairy products, meat, poultry, seafood, frozen and chilled foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, cereals, pulses, edible oils, spices, condiments, organic and plant-based foods, snacks, confectionery, bakery products, beverages, tea, coffee, and specialty foods. The event will also feature FMCG and packaged food manufacturers, food ingredient suppliers, superfood and health food producers, as well as wine and beverage equipment providers.
In addition, leading companies specializing in food processing technology, packaging machinery, packaging materials, cold-chain solutions, logistics, quality assurance, food safety systems, and related services will showcase their latest advancements, making Food Show South Africa and Food Pack & Process a comprehensive business platform for the entire food and packaging ecosystem.
With Africa’s food consumption, processing, and packaging industries experiencing sustained growth, the exhibition is expected to play a pivotal role in fostering international trade, technology transfer, investment opportunities, and cross-border partnerships.
