Thai Food Industry Showcases Innovation at SIAL Paris 2026
The Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) is leading 86 Thai companies at SIAL Paris 2026, aiming to secure 2 billion baht in trade orders.
On October 17, 2026, the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), in collaboration with the Thai Chamber of Commerce, officially opened the Thailand Pavilion at the SIAL Paris 2026 international food and beverage exhibition. Held at the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center in France, the event runs through October 21, 2026.
According to Khaosod Online, DITP Director-General Varawut Somwangprasert, alongside Thai Chamber of Commerce Chairman Poj Aramwattananont and Thai Ambassador to Paris Nikorndej Balankura, inaugurated the pavilion to promote Thai food products, focusing on high-value and innovative goods. The initiative aims to connect 86 Thai entrepreneurs with global buyers, with officials projecting that the participation will generate approximately 2 billion baht in trade orders.
For residents and travelers, this event highlights the ongoing global expansion of Thailand’s food export sector, which continues to emphasize innovation and quality standards. While the pavilion serves as a significant platform for international trade, the final economic impact remains to be confirmed once the exhibition concludes and total order values are verified by the DITP. This showcase underscores Thailand's strategic efforts to strengthen its position in the global food market.
