2026 Shenzhen Food & Fisheries Expo

From July 2–4, 2026, Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center (Futian) will host three major industry events simultaneously: World food and agricultural wxpo(Shenzhen), Shenzhen International Fisheries & Seafood Expo, and China (Shenzhen) International Spring Tea Industry Expo. Together, the three exhibitions will showcase the entire food industry value chain, covering food, agricultural products, seafood, tea, and supply chain solutions.

For food processing machinery manufacturers and equipment suppliers, the co-located exhibitions offer more than a product showcase. They provide an efficient platform to connect with food manufacturers, seafood processors, distributors, and international buyers across the Greater Bay Area and beyond.

Why Should Pay Attention?

Three Co-located Exhibitions Cover the Entire Food Value Chain

The World food and agricultural expo(Shenzhen), Shenzhen International Fisheries & Seafood Expo, and China (Shenzhen) International Spring Tea Industry Expo bring together companies from food manufacturing, seafood processing, tea processing, retail, catering, and supply chain sectors. This enables machinery suppliers to reach a broader range of potential customers through a single exhibition platform.

Food Industry Upgrading Continues to Drive Equipment Demand

As prepared foods, functional foods, and value-added seafood products continue to grow, manufacturers are investing in automation, intelligent processing systems, and higher production efficiency. Demand is also increasing for packaging equipment, weighing and inspection systems, cold chain solutions, and central kitchen technologies.

Greater Bay Area Platform Connects Domestic and Global Buyers

Located adjacent to Hong Kong, Shenzhen serves as an international trade hub within the Greater Bay Area. Leveraging its strong global supply chain network and overseas buyer resources, the exhibitions provide valuable opportunities for machinery manufacturers to connect with customers from China as well as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other international markets.
