The "Philippine Food Expo" (PFE) is a leading trade fair for the Philippine food and beverage industry. It serves as a central platform for producers, traders, and investors to showcase and discuss innovations, trends, and market opportunities in the agricultural and food sectors. Organized by PHILFOODEX INC., the expo takes place annually at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, bringing together key industry players.

A particular focus is placed on evolving consumer habits, influenced by rising incomes, urbanization, and population growth. The expo highlights the challenges and opportunities of globalization in the food trade while emphasizing sustainable solutions. Companies present strategies to enhance productivity, optimize resource utilization, and ensure a stable market demand.

The extensive range of products includes a variety of beverages such as juices, coffee, tea, milk, wine, and spirits, as well as baked goods, dairy products, chilled and frozen foods, confectionery, and fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. Additionally, seafood, herbs, organic health foods, and modern food equipment and accessories are featured. The expo portfolio is further enriched by packaging and labeling solutions, franchising, industry publications, packaging design, and distribution management. As a result, the Philippine Food Expo serves as a comprehensive platform for manufacturers, distributors, restaurateurs, and retailers.

One of the standout features of the expo is its interactive special events, distinguishing it from other industry fairs. These include culinary competitions for students and faculty in hospitality management and culinary arts, featuring disciplines such as food styling and photography, healthy pasta, and Philippine regional table setting. The program is complemented by professional and business seminars offering valuable insights into current market strategies and industry developments. An investment forum provides new business perspectives, while targeted media exposure ensures broad public awareness.

The Philippine Food Expo is not only a showcase for Philippine products but also highlights Manila's role as a hub for the food industry in Southeast Asia. It brings together professionals from production, distribution, gastronomy, retail, and technology, all seeking new business opportunities, partnerships, and innovative solutions. As a national flagship event, it sets industry benchmarks and contributes to the advancement of the country’s agricultural and food sectors.

The venue, the World Trade Center Metro Manila, is situated in an economically vibrant region with excellent infrastructure. The expo is easily accessible from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Manila’s major business districts. This makes the Philippine Food Expo not only a must-attend event for industry professionals but also a gateway to one of Asia’s fastest-growing food markets.

The Philippine Food Expo takes place annually, and therefore for the eighteenth time previsibly in April 2026 in Manila.
