Sri Lanka to debut national pavilion at Australia's premier food expo

Sri Lanka will showcase its food and beverage sector at Fine Food Australia 2026 through a dedicated national pavilion, the country's first at the prestigious biennial trade event. The Export Development Board (EDB) is spearheading the initiative to position Sri Lankan exporters among key players in the Australian food market.

Fine Food Australia is one of the Southern Hemisphere's largest food and beverage trade exhibitions, attracting thousands of industry professionals, importers, retailers, and hospitality operators. The event provides an ideal platform for Sri Lankan producers to establish business connections, forge partnerships, and gain direct market access in Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

The national pavilion will feature a curated selection of Sri Lankan food products, leveraging the country's strengths in spices, tea, seafood, coconut-based products, and other specialty items. The EDB's involvement signals a coordinated government effort to support exporters in accessing new markets and building brand recognition internationally.

Official details regarding the pavilion's scale, participant selection criteria, and specific product categories are expected to be announced in coming months. The initiative aligns with Sri Lanka's broader export promotion strategy to diversify market destinations and strengthen its position in the global food trade sector.
