IFEX Philippines 2025 Takes The World Stage

As the global appetite for premium, authentic, and sustainably produced food continues to grow, the Philippines takes center stage once again through IFEX Philippines 2025—the country’s flagship international food trade exhibition happening on May 22–24, 2025, at the World Trade Center Metro Manila.

Are you in the food and beverage industry? Don’t miss IFEX Philippines 2025, the country’s premier international food trade show.

Organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the event is not just another food expo—it’s a celebration of Filipino innovation, cultural heritage, and entrepreneurial excellence.

From tropical fruits and artisanal snacks to halal-certified seafood and plant-based delicacies, IFEX Philippines offers visitors a sensory and strategic deep dive into the future of food.

A Gathering of the Best: From Farm to Global Market

Now on its 18th edition, IFEX Philippines continues its evolution from a regional showcase into a world-class platform for food discovery, market expansion, and international networking.

The event gathers over 700 exhibitors and draws more than 10,000 trade buyers and visitors from over 50 countries, transforming the World Trade Center into a bustling hub of tastings, talks, and trade deals.

Buyers and business owners alike can explore a wide variety of products—from ethnic and regional delicacies to health-conscious food innovations, all proudly sourced and produced by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) supported by the Philippines’ Department of Trade and Industry.

At the heart of IFEX Philippines is its unwavering commitment to business matching—offering buyers and sellers targeted opportunities to connect before, during, and even after the event.

Attendees can engage in exclusive B2B sessions, access the Very Important Buyer (VIB) Program, and participate in private negotiations in curated networking spaces designed to spark collaborations and international deals.

For those looking to stay ahead of the curve, product innovation showcases, cooking demos, and the prestigious Katha Awards will shine a spotlight on brands pushing the boundaries of creativity and quality in food.
