The Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM) will organize the 19th edition of IFEX Philippines on 21-23 May 2026 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila.
IFEX Philippines is CITEM’s premier international sourcing event for Philippine and
global food and ingredients, showcasing a wide range of products including bakery
goods, beverages, fruits and vegetables, functional and gourmet foods, meat, poultry,
seafood, plant-based products, snacks, and allied trade services. Since its inception,
IFEX has provided food and beverage companies a global platform to promote their
products and strengthen links with international buyers, importers, and retailers.
A key feature of the 2026 edition is the co-location of the Sustainability Solutions
Exchange (SSX) exhibition and conference, which will highlight innovative technologies,
products, and processes promoting sustainability and circularity across various sectors,
including food and agriculture. Now in its second year, SSX will also provide a platform
for startups to showcase green innovations and connect with industry partners and
investors.
CITEM’s promotional materials and marketing toolkits for IFEX Philippines and SSX may

To facilitate high-level participation, CITEM offers incentive programs designed to attract
global partners. The Very Important Buyer (VIB) Program provides incentives such as
complimentary hotel accommodation, airport transfers, and airfare subsidies for
high-value trade buyers.
Deadline for applications to the Very Important Buyer (VIB) Incentive Programs is 31 March 2026.
