About the Trade Fair

About Saudi Food

Saudi Food (Saudi Food, Hotel & Hospitality Expo) is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's premier trade show for food procurement, hospitality F&B, retail, foodservice, and food technology. Held biannually in June and November at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC), the event brings together 1,200+ international and regional exhibitors with 25,000+ trade visitors from Saudi Arabia, the GCC, and beyond.

Saudi Food has grown significantly since its launch in the early 2010s, particularly accelerating post-2016 following Saudi Vision 2030 food security and domestic supply chain reform initiatives. The fair attracts halal-certified producers, organic suppliers, specialty ingredient exporters, and foodtech innovators targeting GCC food and hospitality procurement professionals, supermarket chains, restaurant groups, and foodservice operators.

Strategic Importance

Why Saudi Food Matters

Saudi Food is a core GCC entry point for international food exporters — the Kingdom's food procurement market exceeds $50 billion annually with growing demand for halal-certified, organic, and specialty imports to support Vision 2030 food security goals.

Saudi Arabia's food and beverage sector is rapidly modernizing, with sustained demand for Indian specialty products including basmati rice, pulses, spices, organic/certified products, and value-added ingredients. Buyers at Saudi Food include Saudi distributors, retail chains (Lulu, Panda, Carrefour), restaurant operators, hotel groups, and government food procurement agencies. Radiance follows Saudi Food as a strategic complement to Gulfood Dubai and SIAL Middle East, monitoring trends in halal certification, organic demand, and GCC import regulations. The fair offers direct access to decision-makers in a concentrated 3-day format.
