Foodex Saudi 2026 will be held at the Jeddah International Exhibition and Convention Center from 23 to 25 November. This is the 14th edition of the food and beverage trade exhibition, which is organised by Sunaidi Expo and Conferences. The official site places the 2026 edition in Jeddah after the 2024 and 2025 editions were held in Riyadh.
The exhibition brings food and beverage producers, importers and distributors together with retailers, foodservice operators, hotel groups and the government bodies responsible for food standards and food security. Product halls cover packaged food, fresh produce, meat and poultry, dairy, beverages and ingredients, alongside processing and packaging suppliers, with national pavilions from exporting countries.
The event matters to executives because Saudi Arabia is the largest food market in the Gulf and is investing in domestic production and in logistics through its western ports, and because Jeddah is the commercial gateway for food imports through the Red Sea. Chief executives of food producers, distributors and retail groups use the show to meet buyers in the western region.
Aggregator listings still carry the earlier Riyadh dates of 16 to 18 November; the organiser's own site gives Jeddah, 23 to 25 November. Registration is published on the official site.
