Fi South America 2026, the Food Ingredients Exhibition, returns to Sao Paulo, Brazil from 4 August 2026 to 6 August 2026, bringing the trade fair community together. Drawing exhibitors and trade visitors from across the supply chain, it offers a focused environment for sourcing and business development. On an annual cycle, it gives the industry a regular moment to regroup and look ahead. Numbers speak for themselves here — roughly 12000 attendees are anticipated across the days. Informa Markets is at the helm, and their attention to the small things is what regular attendees notice most. This year's edition calls Sao Paulo Expo home.

When the host city is Sao Paulo, half the appeal is already in place — a well-connected, welcoming base with plenty to offer once the day is done. Flights land close by and public transport does the rest, so Sao Paulo is an easy city to reach and an easier one to navigate. Book ahead and you will have your pick of Sao Paulo's hotels, from the practical to the memorable. Leave a little time to explore: Sao Paulo's dining, culture and attractions make the trip about more than just the event. Few places in Brazil are as well suited to hosting the international crowd this event attracts as Sao Paulo.

The floor is organised around Foods, Food Industry, Food Ingredients and Food & Beverage, so finding the right suppliers takes less walking and more talking. Deals start on the floor and continue over coffee, which is exactly how the format is meant to work. An exhibition of 290+ exhibitors showcases the products and ideas defining the field.

Measured in leads, orders and handshakes, the time spent here tends to pay for itself. Whether your goal is sourcing, sales or building partnerships, Fi South America 2026 brings producers, resellers and category buyers together in one place.

As with most major events of this kind, registering in advance and planning your schedule ahead of time is recommended.
