Naples – Gustus 2026
On November 15, Gustus returns to Naples—a key event and a benchmark for Central and Southern Italy. Numerous selected international buyers from 12 countries will be in attendance.
“Gustus is a key event for showcasing and promoting Campania’s identity through the entire agri-food supply chain, with a particular focus on traditional and certified-quality products—the region’s authentic heritage and a strategic lever for revitalizing its inland and rural areas.” This was stated by the Campania Region’s Councilor for Agriculture, Maria Carmela Serluca, ahead of the 12th edition of Gustus, the Trade Show for the Agri-Food, Wine and Gastronomy, and Technology Sectors, which returns to the Mostra d’Oltremare in Naples from Sunday, November 15, through Tuesday, November 17, 2026.
“While the North can count on two successful events like Cibus and Tuttofood, Gustus—as Angioletto De Negri, founder of Progecta, points out—confirms that the South, too, is capable of hosting an agri-food trade show that can capture the world’s attention. This is demonstrated by the international origin of the buyers expected in Naples on November 15: a concrete sign of interest in our finest products and of the opportunities that Gustus offers businesses to tap into new markets. It is a newer event, but one with a clear ambition: to introduce the world to the products of our land, so they can discover, choose, and purchase them.”
The 12th edition of Gustus, the professional agri-food trade show
Recognized as an international trade show by the Association of Italian Trade Fair Organizers and ICE—the Italian Institute for Foreign Trade—and organized by Progecta, it is reserved exclusively for direct producers and industry professionals.
The exhibition area, which spans approximately 8,000 square meters, includes Halls 2-3 and 3B of the Fuorigrotta exhibition center and is preparing to welcome exhibitors from every sector: from pasta manufacturers to meat and cured meats, from frozen foods to seafood—with a strong presence of Mediterranean seafood—from dairy products to premium olive oils and pastries, as well as professional kitchens, foodservice technology, and logistics.
And once again at Gustus, the most important trade show in Central and Southern Italy for food and technology in the professional kitchen and restaurant industry, numerous international buyers —selected by ICE, which also organized the schedule of meetings to be held at the exhibitors’ booths—will be in attendance, coming from South Korea, India, Bulgaria, Germany, Indonesia, Canada, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Hungary, Croatia, and Ghana.
“The event, which is constantly growing and has become a benchmark for the sector in Central and Southern Italy,” adds Serluca, “will offer an important opportunity to strengthen the visibility and market positioning of Campania-based companies in national and international markets. On behalf of our consortium of agri-food companies, we will promote a rich program of initiatives, including cooking demonstrations, promotional activities, and meetings with international buyers, with the goal of fostering new commercial and internationalization opportunities, while highlighting the stories behind our products of excellence—an authentic expression of the quality and innovative capacity of Campania’s agri-food sector.”
