Alimentaria & Hostelco 2026

March 23rd to 26th, 2026 · Barcelona, Spain

Alimentaria & Hostelco 2026 stands as one of the world's largest and most influential trade platforms for the food, hospitality, and foodservice industries. Co-located at Fira de Barcelona's Gran Via venue, this historic edition celebrates Alimentaria's 50th anniversary, bringing together over 3,300 companies from 70 countries and welcoming more than 110,000 professional visitors from across the globe. With nearly 1,000 international exhibitors representing more than 30% of total participation, the event serves as a strategic gateway to the European, Latin American, and Asian markets. In 2026, YapuGreen made a strong presence at this premier industry gathering, showcasing our commitment to sustainable innovation and high-performance eco-friendly tableware solutions to a truly global audience.

Our exhibition portfolio at Alimentaria & Hostelco featured our full spectrum of environmentally responsible tableware, including cornstarch-based products, sugarcane bagasse tableware, aluminum foil containers, kraft paper packaging, and durable PP solutions. Each product category reflects our deep understanding of evolving market needs — from the rapid compostability of plant-based materials to the resource efficiency of agricultural waste utilization, and from the premium aesthetics of kraft and aluminum packaging to the recyclability of high-durability PP products. As European Union environmental regulations continue to tighten, our products showcased advanced performance in oil resistance, water resistance, and heat stability, fully aligning with the stringent environmental standards of the European market. Our booth attracted significant attention from professional buyers and procurement representatives seeking sustainable alternatives, particularly from the HORECA channel — a sector that occupied over 20,000 m² at the show with more than 600 participating companies.

Alimentaria & Hostelco 2026 provided us with an exceptional platform to engage with major international buyers, including representatives from global retail and foodservice giants such as Walmart, Bidfood, Sonae, KeHE, and PriceSmart. Through this strategic participation, we not only deepened our partnerships with customers across Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but also secured preliminary cooperation agreements with several international hospitality and catering groups. The show's emphasis on innovation — featuring more than 300 product innovations at the Innoval showcase and hosting 200 experts in sustainability and digitalization at the Alimentaria Hub — reaffirmed our strategic direction. Our participation enhanced YapuGreen's brand recognition and credibility in the competitive European and international markets, positioning us as a trusted partner in the global transition toward sustainable foodservice packaging.
