WHAT’S NEW
Exhibition Fees Waived and Transportation Subsidies Available: We are seeking businesses to promote their products at FOODEX JAPAN 2025.
The Japan Food Safety Management Association (hereinafter referred to as JFSM) is pleased to announce that, as part of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries' 2024 subsidy project, we will be exhibiting at "FOODEX JAPAN 2025," one of Asia's largest international food and beverage exhibitions, in collaboration with the Taiwan Quality Food Association (hereinafter referred to as TQFA).
We invite food businesses interested in utilizing the JFSM exhibition booth at FOODEX JAPAN 2025 for business negotiations, tastings, and sample distribution to apply. There are no exhibition fees, and we will subsidize round-trip transportation costs for one representative per company (up to 50,000 yen excluding tax). Previous exhibitors at the JFSM booth have successfully established new business relationships. This exhibition, which will attract domestic and international buyers, presents a valuable opportunity for promotional activities and potential customer development, and we encourage enthusiastic applications.
Please note that this opportunity is limited to food businesses that have already obtained or are in the process of obtaining the JFS standard. Priority will be given to businesses that have received certification for export business plans in accordance with Article 37 of the Act on Promotion of Export of Agricultural and Food Products.
