Saudi Food Show 2026
About This Show
The Saudi Food Show (styled The Saudifood Show) runs September 27-29, 2026 at the Jeddah Superdome. It is the fourth edition and the first in Jeddah: the 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions were held in Riyadh in May or June. For 2026 it is co-located with Saudifood Manufacturing, covering the F&B value chain from ingredients, processing and packaging through to finished products, with MODON as strategic partner.
Ahead of the show, the organizers cited 1,000+ exhibitors from 95+ countries, 35 national pavilions, 100,000+ F&B products and 12,000+ expected business meetings through the TawaSul Meetings Programme. These are pre-show figures, not final results. Exhibitors named before the show include Almarai, NADEC, Tanmiah, BRF, Seara (JBS), Arla, Lactalis, Savola, First Mills and Americana, with MULTIVAC, Provisur and JBT Marel on the manufacturing side. The show also hosts the Saudifood Excellence Awards and the Saudifood Manufacturing Innovation Awards.
The Saudi Food Show is not the same event as Foodex Saudi, a separate food show run by a different organizer (Sunaidi Expo) at the Jeddah International Exhibition and Convention Center.
