In light of the current situation in the Middle East, the 33rd edition of Iran agrofood, originally scheduled to take place from 19 to 22 May 2026, has been postponed until further notice. 

A new date will be announced as soon as conditions have stabilised and planning certainty can be ensured. 

During this challenging period, we extend our sincere best wishes to all partners and industry professionals across the region.

Back for its 33rd edition, Iran food ingredients returns to Tehran as part of Iran agrofood 2026, showcasing the incredible momentum of Iran’s food & beverage ingredients market.

This is the place where innovation meets opportunity – bringing together industry leaders, decision makers, and top suppliers across the entire value chain.

Organised by fairtrade Messe in cooperation with their local partners Palar Samenh, thousands of professionals from across Iran and beyond are expected to attend this key industry event.

• With over 95 million consumers, Iran is by far the largest and most promising F&B ingredients market in the Middle East.
• Expenditure in the F&B sector is rising steadily, driven by strong consumer demand, urbanization, and a growing middle class. The F&B industry remains the largest and most dynamic segment of Iran’s processing sector, offering vast opportunities for suppliers and investors.
• Global ingredient leaders are already here: over the past few years, many international suppliers have opened application labs in Iran, creating tailor-made taste, scent, and care solutionsto match local preferences.

• Iran’s young and dynamic population is increasingly seeking healthier, functional, and premium products — a trend that is reshaping the market.
• Despite regulatory challenges, demand for innovative, high-quality ingredients continues to accelerate, making Iran a strategic hub for long-term investment and expansion.
• Companies that act early and build strong local partnerships are the ones set to lead the next wave of growth in this vibrant market.
