One the way to the consumer: discover the new products with Riga Food 2026 trade fair!

New spices, snacks, chocolate, drinks, fish and meat products – discover them all at the food industry trade fair Riga Food 2026 in Ķīpsala from 10th to 12th of September.

And this year’s fair has plenty of them – either completely new products or goods that have been on the market for years and are now coming back with a new appearance. Become one of the first to see, taste and appreciate them yourself!
