Food Ingredients China 2027

Food Ingredients China (FIC) is one of the largest and most professional exhibitions for food additives and ingredients. Held annually, it covers all areas of the food industry, new foods and ingredients, natural and functional ingredients, food packaging materials and equipment, and test equipment and methods.

Dates: 17–19 March 2027. City: Shanghai. Venue: National Exhibition and Convention Center Shanghai (NECC). Dates are set by the organizer and can be revised, so check them against the official source before booking travel.

Sectors: Food & Beverages, Food Equipment, Food Additives & Spices. The organizer publishes the full list of halls and the exhibitor line-up closer to the dates.

Most stands work in Chinese and only some teams speak English. We arrange a Chinese interpreter in Shanghai: at the stands, in supplier negotiations and on factory visits.

Hotels near the venue sell out months ahead, so start planning well before 17–19 March 2027. Entry requires an M business visa: we handle it end to end in 10-14 days, including the invitation for the fair, without you visiting a consulate.
