MAFBEX 2027

MAFBEX is the most authoritative B2B food and beverage exhibition in the Philippines. Since its founding in 2006, it has remained the "first stop" for foreign suppliers entering the Philippine market. In 2027, the exhibition will hold its 21st edition and will continue to serve as an effective platform for Russian food exporters to meet directly with Philippine importers, distributors, and retail chains.

Why the Philippines? Why 2027?

The population of the Philippines is approaching 120 million - one of the fastest-growing consumer markets in Southeast Asia. And most importantly, access for Russian products to the Philippine market is opening up at a rapid pace.

The Philippines has opened access for Russian pork - since the market opened, supply volumes have reached 10,000 tonnes, and the country has become the fourth-largest importer of Russian pork. Permission for the supply of beef and poultry has also been obtained (though supplies in these categories are still at an early stage).

Russian products have already proven their demand: in 2026, a Russian company already participated in the MAFBEX exhibition, presenting its products alongside exhibitors from Korea, Japan, Poland, and Belarus. Interest in imported food products in the Philippine market continues to grow.

What does MAFBEX 2027 offer?

This is not just an exhibition. MAFBEX's key focus is B2B negotiations. Here, exhibitors work with those who actually make purchasing decisions: importers, distributors, supermarket purchasing managers, restaurant groups, and hotel operators. In 2026, the exhibition was visited by nearly 54,000 professional visitors, and more than 490 stands were organized. It is expected that the scale of the event will be even larger in 2027.

For Russian exporters, the following product categories have clear demand in the Philippine market:

Meat and meat products (pork, beef, poultry)

Dairy products

Confectionery and bakery products

Grains and flour products

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages

Organic and health food products


Test the market directly, get feedback on the spot

The value of MAFBEX lies in "live" contact. You can bring samples, let Philippine buyers taste the product, touch it with their own hands, and hear their real reaction to the packaging, taste, and price on the spot. No marketing report can replace this kind of feedback.
