The Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Food, through the Azores Brand Management and Promotion Office, is promoting the participation of 20 Azorean companies in the 2026 edition of Lisbon Food Affair, which will take place in Lisbon between February 9 and 11.
The Lisbon Food Affair is an exclusively professional trade fair for the Portuguese agrifood sector, bringing together food and beverage manufacturers and distributors, as well as equipment, service and technology companies serving the distribution and Horeca channel, both nationally and internationally.
The presence of Azorean companies at this event is a strategic opportunity to meet buyers from various markets, contributing to the consolidation of their operations and opening up new possibilities for commercial expansion.
The Autonomous Region of the Azores has been participating in the fair since 2024, with a presence in the Azores Brand space, the largest at the event. Companies have highlighted the importance of the numerous meetings held in the Hosted Buyers space, which have generated business opportunities and bolstered the internationalisation process of Azores Brand-certified products.
In the 2026 edition, the following companies and their respective brands will be featured at the Azores Brand stand: AgroMarienseCoop CRL, Azores Farm, Azores Jerky, AzorGhee, Boa Fruta, Celeiro da Terra, Conseran, Conservas Santa Catarina, Fábrica de Licores Mulher de Capote, Chá Gorreana, Insulac, SA, Lactaçores UCRL, Mel do Atlântico, Milhafre dos Açores, Moaçor, MPD – Bensaude Distribuição, Quinta das Três Cruzes, Quintal dos Açores, Sociedade Corretora and Yoçor.
It should be noted that Azorean products were awarded the LFA Innovation prize in 2024 and 2025 for the Bananika and Bananika Chips innovations, developed by the Terceira-based company Loop Pursuit, reinforcing national and international recognition of the quality and creativity of the Azorean agrifood sector.
The Regional Secretary for Agriculture and Food, António Ventura, highlighted the importance of this participation in strengthening the competitiveness of Azorean products.
“The presence of 20 Azorean companies at Lisbon Food Affair 2026 demonstrates, once again, the vitality, innovation capacity and quality of the Azorean agrifood sector. This is a strategic platform for boosting the visibility of the Azores brand, consolidating trade relations and unlocking new markets,” he stressed.
“The Regional Government of the Azores remains committed to supporting the internationalisation of our companies, promoting products that reflect the authenticity and excellence of what is produced in the archipelago. The distinctions achieved in recent years prove that the Azores have talent, creativity and an enormous potential on the national and international scene,” stated the government official.
