The exhibition will be held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture for four days from March 8, 2022, and it will feature food trends such as a broad range of value-added “frozen foods” and “substitute foods” as part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as lately fashionable “food-tech.”

Many Japanese and foreign buyers and executives have visited previous FOODEX JAPAN exhibitions for procurement, and the exhibitions have been highly recognized by parties concerned as an excellent opportunity to expand their businesses globally. “FOODEX JAPAN” will hold a “real” exhibition, as well as a virtual exhibition for online negotiations.
