WOFEX Celebrates Sweet 16

Travel the culinary world through the Philippines’ biggest food show.

World Food Expo (WOFEX)  is all set to open simultaneously in the country’s two largest venues – the SMX Convention Center and the World Trade Center.  From August 3-6, 2016, WOFEX will once again be the gathering place for the food and beverage industry’s stakeholders, now on its 16th year.

Aside from its very strong local base of exhibitors, grab the opportunity to source and network with companies from all over the world.  This year, participating are large country pavilions from Korea, USA, Turkey, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Vietnam as well as exhibitors from Japan, Germany, Pakistan, Italy, Oman, Ukraine, Brazil, Indonesia and much more.

What makes WOFEX an annual success is the diversity of the products on display.  There is also the assurance that every year, there are always many new products and trends to see.  In response to the country’s robust foodservice growth, a visit to WOFEX is the most convenient way to source all possible supply needs.

One highlight of the show is the Kitchen Theater where well-known chefs share their skills to visitors.  In both venues, the latest products and techniques are shown throughout the 4-day event.

For those looking for more advanced learning, WOFEX University offers courses that are taught by practicing professionals, giving its audience an experience-based education and practical tips learned from the workplace and not just from the classroom.


As an advocacy, the Slow Food Summit is once again being hosted by WOFEX which promotes heirloom recipes and ingredients that are being pushed to a broader market to help preserve their very existence.  On August 6, learn and experience Slow Food cuisine thru Asia’s Best Female Chef Margarita Fores during the Benefit Lunch for farmers and food producers.

Halal Tourism is another advocacy of WOFEX.  With billions of tourism dollars at stake, and with the Philippines losing out on this lucrative market because few food establishments offer halal food, this advocacy has far-reaching effects in the country’s culinary and tourism vision.

And finally, concurrently held with WOFEX is the Philippine Culinary Cup (PCC), the country’s most prestigious culinary competition.  Being the only one endorsed by the World Association of Chefs Societies (WACS), the PCC is able to attract many international teams such as Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, France and more.  Battling it out with some of the best hotels, restaurants and culinary schools in the Philippines, the PCC is truly where the best meet to compete.

Exhibition, education, competition – these are all elements that make the World
Food Expo the ultimate food show experience.
