The Foodex was held from 21 to 24 September 2025 at the International Convention & Exhibition Center in Riyadh.

Ambassador of Sri Lanka to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Ameer Ajwad officially inaugurated Sri Lanka's pavilion. Addressing the gathering, the Ambassador pointed out that Saudi Arabia, as the largest food and beverage market in the GCC, continues to offer significant opportunities for exporters. Saudi Arabia's mass grocery retail (MGR) sector is projected to grow by 66.6% over the next two years, reflecting the Kingdom's dynamic retail transformation and expanding consumer base. Sri Lanka's participation at such Expos would showcase the country's high quality export products and help to expand the export basket, the Ambassador emphasised.
