About World Food Moscow

World Food Moscow is Russia's largest international food and beverage trade exhibition, held annually each September at Crocus Expo IEC since 1992.

Organized by Hyve Group, the event gathers 30,000+ trade visitors and 1,500+ exhibitors from across Russia, CIS, and Eastern Europe — the strategic sourcing fair for Russian importers, retail chains, and HoReCa procurement teams.

Strategic Importance

Why World Food Moscow Matters

World Food Moscow is the dominant calibration event for Russia and CIS food imports — Russian retail chains, HoReCa procurement teams, and CIS food distributors source annual volumes here. Post-2022 sanctions context has shifted Western sourcing channels, creating larger Indian export opportunities. India now supplies 40%+ of Russian basmati rice, with INR-RUB trade settlement reducing currency and logistics complexity.

Key buyers: Russian food importers · CIS distributors · Russian retail chains (Pyaterochka, Magnit, X5) · HoReCa procurement · Food brand teams
