Original Dates June 1-4, 2021
Seoul Food and Hotel (SFH) is the biggest food show in South Korea, the fifth-largest export market for U.S. food and farm products. The event provides access to major food importers, distributors, hoteliers, restaurateurs, and retailers who are looking for food and beverages, wine and spirits, hospitality and foodservice products, and ingredients. SFH 2020 was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the U.S. Pavilion at this USDA-endorsed show welcomed 47 exhibitors reporting $24.6 million in 12-month projected sales (2018: $5.9 million) of U.S. agricultural products. On-site sales in 2019 were reported at more than $3.6 million. U.S. exhibitors made 455 serious business contacts and introduced 470 products in the market. U.S. exhibitors represented a wide array of products including snack foods, beverage products, dairy products, meat and processed meat products, cooking oils, sauces, and desserts. The 47 U.S. exhibitors included 29 small-to-medium size and 12 new-to-market companies.
