Top Reasons to Attend
1
Chile's Major B2B Food Meeting
The event concentrates food-industry decision-makers in Santiago and is designed around commercial relationships rather than consumer entertainment.
2
Latin American Market Access
International suppliers can test demand and identify import or distribution partners for Chile and neighboring markets.
3
Foodservice and Retail Together
Brands can meet multiple channels while buyers can compare products positioned differently for restaurants, hotels and stores.
4
Product Demonstration
For equipment and ingredients, live use can expose practical differences that catalog specifications miss.
5
Distributor Discovery
Exporters should prioritize partners with category knowledge, logistics capacity and channel access rather than simply collecting contacts.
What You'll See & Do
🔎
Food & Beverage Exhibitors
Organize sourcing by category and route to market, retail, foodservice or hospitality, because commercial requirements differ significantly.
🚜
Professional Kitchen & Equipment
Operators should compare equipment against kitchen footprint, service availability, energy use and production volume.
☕
Beverage & Coffee Offer
Restaurants and hospitality buyers can evaluate beverage programs, coffee solutions and supplier support alongside food sourcing.
🌍
International Pavilions
Use country participation to discover products seeking entry into Chile and negotiate directly with export teams.
🍽️
Live Culinary Activity
Demonstrations and competitions can reveal how ingredients and equipment perform in professional use rather than only on a stand.
🚚
Latin American Distribution
Latin American distribution discussions are most valuable for international brands that arrive with export pricing, shelf life, pack format and a clear channel strategy for Chile and neighbouring markets rather than seeking a generic distributor.
