The most awaited Food Industry Show, Profood Propack and Agbiz Exhibition, organised by the Sri Lanka Food Processors Association (SLFPA) together with Lanka Exhibition and Conference Services (LECS), was formally announced on 5 March at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel, Colombo.

The most awaited Food Industry Show is scheduled to take place from 22 to 24 August at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Exhibition and Convention Centre at BMICH Colombo and is endorsed and supported by the Industries Ministry, the National Agribusiness Council, and the Institute of Food Science and Technology Sri Lanka.

The exhibition is well known over the last two and half decades as SLFPA’s flagship event to foster Food Industry advancement and drive economic growth in Sri Lanka. The event serves as a driving force, uniting leaders from the Food Industry, various stakeholders, and decision-makers in agriculture-based businesses, food processing industries, packaging and all service providers related to the Food Industry.

Sri Lanka Food Processors Association President Thusith Wijesinghe remarked, “As we near the 22nd consecutive year of this dynamic exhibition, we acknowledge its crucial role in fostering growth and sustainability within the agricultural and food sectors. This platform acts as a catalyst for professionals to explore state-of-the-art technologies, present innovative products and processes, and boost global competitiveness.”

Profood, Propack and Agbiz 2025 Organising Committee Co-Chairman Aruna Senanayake opined that the upcoming exhibition promises to be an outstanding gathering of industry leaders, innovators and food science graduates. He emphasised their unwavering commitment towards facilitating knowledge exchange through the “Knowledge Hub”, which was introduced at last year’s exhibition.

This year, the committee has expanded the Knowledge Hub to include a well-structured Consumer Assistance Desk (CAD), serving as a crucial touch point for new entrepreneurs seeking assistance and guidance in identifying opportunities. The exhibition will also showcase technological innovations and facilitate strategic partnerships within the sector. Senanayake expressed their dedication to delivering an event that exceeds expectations and propels the industry to greater heights, comparable to international food shows.

The exhibition provides numerous opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to showcase and promote their products. SMEs are crucial to the industry’s growth, and this event allows them to gain exposure, find new markets, build relationships and explore potential collaborations with key stakeholders.

The event will feature a diverse array of products, services, and innovations related to agriculture, processed food and beverages, and packaging.

Participating in the Profood Propack and Agbiz 2025 exhibition provides SMEs with exceptional opportunities to broaden their reach, boost brand visibility, and establish strategic partnerships by engaging with key stakeholders and accessing a network of buyers and investors.

The Profood Propack and Agbiz Exhibition invites participants from all related industries and the public to engage in the event. Buyers from supermarkets, hotels, catering institutions, and exporters too are encouraged to attend.
