On March 10, an investment and exhibition promotion event was held in Dongguan for the 10th China International Food and Ingredients Expo (CIFIE), the 4th China International Pre-made Food Industry Expo (CIPFIE), and the 15th Guangdong Modern Agricultural Expo (hereinafter referred to as the "2026 Food Expo, Pre-made Food Expo and Agricultural Expo").

Officials from the Agricultural Trade Promotion Center (ATPC) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province, the Dongguan Municipal People's Government, and Dongguan Assets Operation and Management Co., Ltd., as well as representatives from national, provincial, and municipal media, attended the press conference. The conference featured an overview of the exhibition's general status, preparation progress, and key highlights. Furthermore, the officials provided detailed interpretations and responses to issues of concern to the media.

According to the briefing, the 2026 Food Expo, Pre-made Food Expo and Agricultural Expo will take place from April 10 to 12 at the Guangdong Modern International Exhibition Center in Dongguan. Continuing the theme "Food for All, Flavours for the Future," this year's event is expected to span a total exhibition area exceeding 50,000 square meters.

The Food Expo & Pre-made Food Expo is structured around several specialized zones, including: Branding and Local Delicacies, Innovative Ingredients and Catering Supplies, Leisure Food, Tea and Coffee, Health Food, Packaging Equipment, the International Pavilion, and Rural Vitalization. Meanwhile, the Agricultural Expo will feature sections for: the Guangdong Comprehensive Exhibition, Provincial Units, Research Institutes and Universities, Collaborative Assistance, Prefectures and Cities, and Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Concurrently, a series of supporting activities will be held, including Agricultural Branding Exchange Sessions, the National Food Distributors Conference, the "Yue" (Guangdong) Quality Agricultural Products Matching Event, the "Hundred-Billion Orders" Conference, and the Guangdong Premium Export Products International Guest Hall. These initiatives aim to establish an international exchange platform for the agri-food industry that integrates exhibition, transaction, and professional dialogue.

As a cornerstone exhibition brand in China's agri-food sector, the "Food Expo" has completed nine successful sessions since its inception, evolving from a single-theme trade fair into a comprehensive platform that integrates three major exhibitions. In recent years, its consecutive presence in Dongguan has played a pivotal role in expanding industrial cooperation and fostering trade matching. Furthermore, the expo has provided critical strategic support for Dongguan’s transformation into a world-class hub for food manufacturing and trade.
