The Canadian Food Exporters Association in partnership with Consulate General of Canada in Chongqing, is inviting food and beverage companies to participate in the China Food and Drink Fair (CFDF), taking place in Chengdu, China from March 26-28, 2026.

The China Food and Drinks Fair (CFDF) in Chengdu, together with the hotel-based trade shows held in lead-up to the fair, constitutes one of the largest annual gatherings for the food and beverage industry in China. Collectively, these events attract more than 400,000 trade visitors, media representatives, and consumers from across the country. Held every March in Chengdu, Sichuan Province—widely regarded as the economic centre of western China—the exhibition offers an excellent platform to promote Canadian agri-food products and alcoholic beverages to a broad network of industry professionals.

For this edition, the wine and spirit companies will exhibit in the same hall as the agri-food companies (Hall #10, Chengdu Western China International Expo City).

We have 3 stand sizes available (6sqm – CDN $3,450.00, 9sqm – CDN $4,592.00 and 12sqm – $5,735.00) and each stand will come furnished with a reception desk, chairs, and display cabinet. Glassware, ice, and spit buckets will be provided for beverage companies. All stands will feature a unified Canada-branded design for a professional and cohesive appearance.

Wine and spirit companies will also have a separate opportunity to exhibit at the Fine Wineseer Fair, 7th floor, Chengdu Niccolo Hotel from March 22-25, 2026. The cost of participation is approximately CDN $3,157.00 and will include a reception desk, display cabinet, glassware, ice, spit buckets.
