This first edition brought together 500+ exhibitors from 32 countries, as well as thousands of visitors, giving way to the conferences and panel discussions of the Food Forward Summit and Saudi Food Manufacturing Awards.

The Saudi agro-food sector is expected to grow by 4% annually in the next 10 years, driven by a young and expanding population, and by a very positive business environment.

It sill depends at more than 80% on imports and offers unique opportunities to French and foreign companies.
