Through its business-to-business (B2B) platform, SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 connects stakeholders across the F&B value chain, creating opportunities to expand trade networks, explore strategic partnerships, facilitate the exchange of products and technologies, and strengthen cross-border market access.
SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 opening ceremony was attended by the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia, represented by Director General of National Export Development, Fajarini Puntodewi, who officially opened the exhibition. The event was also supported by the Ministry of Creative Economy represented by Yuke Sri Rahayu, Deputy for Creativity, Culture and Design, and Harun A.S., Assistant Deputy for Medium Enterprise Market Expansion, Yogya Prihartini, Assistant Deputy for Supply Chain Partnerships and Marketing for Small Businesses and Adi Trisnojuwono, Assistant Deputy for the Development of Functional Positions for Entrepreneurship Developers, representing the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The opening ceremony of SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 was also attended by His Excellency Dato’ Muzafar Shah Mustafa, Ambassador of Malaysia, Henri Tan, Managing Director of SIAL Network – ASEAN & India, Elaine Chia, CEO of Comexposium APAC, Andy Wismarsyah, CEO of Seven Event, and Lu Yu, Vice President of the China Chamber of Commerce of Import & Export of Foodstuffs, Native Produce & Animal By-Products (CFNA). The government’s participation underscores the importance of public-private collaboration in strengthening the competitiveness of Indonesia’s F&B industry and expanding market access for locally produced goods.
In remarks delivered on behalf of the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Indonesia, the Director General of National Export Development highlighted SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 as a strategic platform for connecting Indonesian businesses with international partners. The exhibition also serves as an opportunity to expand market access and strengthen the global competitiveness of Indonesia’s food and beverage products.
“Indonesia has significant potential in the food and beverage industry, as reflected in the strong performance of its processed food exports. From January to August 2026, Indonesia’s processed food exports reached USD 4.49 billion, representing a 13.47% increase compared to the same period last year. This growth demonstrates the increasing competitiveness of Indonesian food products in global markets and highlights the opportunities to further expand their international reach. Let us make SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 an opportunity to build long-term business relationships and establish concrete partnerships,” the remarks stated.
Henri Tan, Managing Director of SIAL Network – ASEAN & India, said Indonesia’s F&B industry holds tremendous potential, supported by a large domestic market, abundant agricultural resources and a dynamic entrepreneurial landscape. He emphasized the exhibition’s role in bridging local businesses with global market opportunities.
“Indonesia’s F&B industry is recognized not only as a major consumer market but also as a strategic production and export hub in Southeast Asia. However, accessing international buyers and entering overseas markets remain significant challenges, particularly for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). This is where the strength of the SIAL Network comes in as a two-way gateway, connecting Indonesian producers with international buyers and business partners, while introducing global businesses to opportunities in Indonesia,” Henri said.
The opening day of SIAL Food & Drinks Indonesia 2026 recorded strong business engagement, with visitor registrations reaching 30,000 buyers. Through B2B meetings and the Business Matching Programme, exhibitors and trade visitors explored sourcing, distribution and commercial partnership opportunities, connecting Indonesian businesses with international markets.
