Food Expo PRO: new Meat Zone Debut
Positioned strategically at the heart of Asia, coupled with its exceptional logistics services and adept supply chain management, Hong Kong serves as a promising platform for global food manufacturers to extend their reach into markets across Chinese Mainland and the broader Asian region. As a renowned culinary capital of Asia, Hong Kong is also home to a thriving food services industry that captivates locals and visitors alike.

Food Expo PRO aims to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a business hub for the food industry in Chinese Mainland, Asia, and the world. As a pioneer in the F&B industry, the Expo has always kept a close eye on several key trends and innovation in order to capture the evolving dynamics of the food industry.

This year, Food Expo PRO will introduce a new Meat product zone to spotlight the dynamic meat sector and meet rising demand for premium, diverse, and innovative meat offerings. The zone will showcase a wide range of high-quality meat products, including chilled and frozen meats, processed meats, specialty items, and value-added solutions from global and regional suppliers. It aims to connect exhibitors with professional buyers seeking opportunities in premium proteins, sustainable sourcing, and market trends in the Greater Bay Area and beyond.

Recognising the promising landscape of the Halal Market, the Expo introduced a dedicated Halal food and beverage label in 2024, bringing a diverse variety of Halal certified products ranging from snacks, condiments to seafood. In 2025, more than 120 food suppliers showcased halal products from around the world. A seminar will guide through the importance and the progress of promoting halal-friendly environment in Hong Kong. This session will explore the growing demand for halal products and the standard.

Highlighted “Food Science and Technology” zone brings alternative food and future food products to the professional buyers. The Coffee zone, introduced last year, welcomes new exhibitors from Colombia, the US, and Macao this year to continue showcasing coffee products, accessories, and machines from various origins. Events such as coffee demonstrations and seminars covering the coffee value chain will also be held concurrently.

Food Expo PRO also features a variety of seminars and forums covering the latest developments and market opportunities in the food industry.   The Food Tech Symposium, themed “Food Tech for Wellness: Trends for Hong Kong & Beyond”, will bring together industry leaders to examine how emerging technologies, from AI to advanced food processing and functional foods, are shaping the future of the food industry as well as to support healthier lifestyles.

Hong Kong International Tea Fair: Brewing opportunities in tea business
The concurrent Hong Kong International Tea Fair is Asia’s premier marketplace for the tea industry, showcasing a variety of high-quality specialty teas, delicate tea ware and tea related products. Building on the positive feedback from adopting the B2B2C format in 2025, which attracted over 500,000 visits together with the four concurrent fairs, the 2026 Tea Fair will once again open to the public during the three-day exhibition period, bringing the rich culture of tea to a wider audience.

Moving beyond the boundaries of traditional brewing, this year’s Tea Fair introduces a more diverse “Tea Culture” lifestyle. In addition to returning favorites like sparkling tea, and wine-tea mocktails, the fair is expanding its scale to feature a wide array of products that seamlessly integrate tea into daily life. Visitors can explore tea-pairing pastries, serene Zen bonsai, and exquisite teaware, as well as a fully immersive “Tea-and-Zen” experiential space. This curated journey offers tea enthusiasts a deeper exploration of tea culture, perfectly catering to the market’s growing demand for a refined, lifestyle-driven tea experience.
