The Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC) has hailed the FPC Fresh Produce Hub as a resounding success at International Food & Drink Event 2026, with strong exhibitor engagement, high visitor footfall and immediate rebookings already confirmed for 2027.
Held at ExCeL London from 30 March to 1 April, the Hub once again proved to be a focal point for the fresh produce industry, bringing together leading growers, suppliers and service providers in a vibrant, collaborative space designed to showcase the very best of the sector.
Throughout the three-day event, the Hub attracted a steady stream of buyers, industry professionals and international visitors, all drawn by its dynamic atmosphere and high-quality exhibitor line-up. From innovative product showcases to meaningful commercial conversations, the Hub delivered exactly what it set out to achieve — real connections and tangible business opportunities.
Exhibitors were quick to praise both the quality of engagement and the unique positioning of the Hub within the wider IFE show. Many reported strong leads, valuable new contacts and productive discussions that are already translating into post-event opportunities.
A number of exhibitors have already committed to returning in 2027, underlining the growing reputation of the FPC Fresh Produce Hub as a must-attend destination within the UK’s food and drink exhibition calendar.
FPC’s team also played a central role in creating a welcoming and professional environment, with the Hub serving not only as a showcase space but as a meeting point for the industry. Informal networking over coffee and refreshments helped foster conversations that extended well beyond the exhibition floor.
Reflecting on the event, the overall message from exhibitors and visitors alike is clear: the FPC Fresh Produce Hub is no longer just part of IFE — it is becoming one of its defining features.
With momentum already building for next year, FPC is encouraging businesses to secure their place early. Companies interested in exhibiting at the FPC Fresh Produce Hub in 2027 are invited to contact linda@freshproduce.org.uk

If this year is anything to go by, hesitation may not be a wise strategy — the industry has already started moving.
