MFF – Middle East Food Fair, one of the most strategic trade platforms focused on the Middle East for the food and food processing technologies industries, is preparing to be held for the second time in Gaziantep on May 6–8, 2026.
The exhibition will take place at the Gaziantep Middle East Expo Center and will bring together food manufacturers, food processing technology companies and packaging industry suppliers with international buyer delegations through a strong B2B trade platform.
Strong Commercial Results in Its First Edition
With its successful first edition, MFF quickly established a strong position within the industry. The fair welcomed 15,652 visitors, 122 exhibiting companies and 2,348 international visitors, creating a highly dynamic trade environment. During the exhibition, business agreements worth 126.7 million USD were realized.
Moreover, the commercial connections established during the fair are expected to generate over 230 million USD in trade volume within the following 12 months, demonstrating the strong commercial potential created by the event.
These figures clearly position MFF not only as an exhibition but as a high-impact international B2B trade platform for the food industry.
B2B Meetings and International Buyer Delegations
One of the most important pillars of MFF is its International Buyer Delegation and B2B Meeting Program. Through this program, participating companies have the opportunity to meet professional buyers, importers, distributors and purchasing managers from multiple countries through scheduled one-to-one meetings.
Selected and approved international buyers will be hosted within the MFF VIP Hosted Buyer Program, covering domestic round-trip flights to Gaziantep, hotel accommodation, and scheduled shuttle services between the airport, hotel, and exhibition venue.
These targeted meetings aim to help companies expand into new markets, develop export networks and establish sustainable commercial partnerships.
A Strong Platform for the Food Industry
MFF covers the entire value chain of the food sector including food production, food processing technologies, packaging technologies, food machinery and related industries.
Gaziantep’s strategic location and strong manufacturing ecosystem make the city one of the most important food production and export centers in the region.
MFF – Middle East Food Fair 2026 will take place on May 6–8, 2026 at the Gaziantep Middle East Expo Center, bringing together industry professionals and international buyers once again.
