PHILIPPINE Food Expo, dubbed as the country's only all-Filipino food show, makes a much-awaited comeback after a hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Set on April 28 to 30 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City, the biennial event is organized by the Philippine Food Processors and Exporters Organization (Philfoodex) Inc. which will gather over 300 micro, small, medium and exporters involved in food manufacturing, growing, export, equipment, packaging, ingredients, additives, and allied services and industries.

Also taking part are handling, labeling and processing equipment, kitchen fittings and accessories, refrigeration showcase, silverware and glassware, bar coding, distribution management, food safety and hygiene, and test and instrumentation companies.

'As before, exhibitors are putting their best foot and best food forward, as we regain global competitiveness in the post-pandemic era by providing a one-stop shop and enabling platform for buyers, sellers and other stakeholders in the food industry,' said Philfoodex President Ruben See.

A series of seminars on investment and food security will also be held throughout the event to help medium, small, and micro enterprises improve their product, and optimize business opportunities.

Supported by the Department of Agriculture, the event is in conjunction with Filipino Food Month, an annual celebration of the country's culinary traditions and treasures.
