Caspian Agro Week to gather 447 companies from 45 countries

So far, 447 companies from 45 countries around the world have confirmed their participation in the 19th Azerbaijan International Agriculture Exhibition and Forum - Caspian Agro Week; the 31st Azerbaijan International Food Industry Exhibition - InterFood Azerbaijan, as well as the 14th Caspian International Exhibition Everything for Hotels, Restaurants and Supermarkets - Horeca Caspian, which will be held at the Baku Expo Center from May 5 to 8.

Over the years, these exhibitions have not only become reliable and recognised national brands, but have also secured their rightful place in the global exhibition calendar as leading international events.

One of the key updates is that in 2026, the InterFood Azerbaijan exhibition will be consolidated in a single location – Pavilion 4 of the Baku Expo Centre.

For the first time, Hosted Buyer (Buyer Mission) program will be organized within the Caspian Agro Week and InterFood Azerbaijan exhibitions. This program is being implemented to create a highly efficient and convenient working environment for visitor buyers participating in the exhibition.

This year traditional Gold Shah 2026 - International Culinary Championship, which has long been an integral part of InterFood Azerbaijan, will once again be in the spotlight of visitors. Now in its 6th edition, the Championship is organized by the Azerbaijan Culinary Specialists Association. The Gold Shah Championship is a licensed event of the World Association of Chefs' Societies (Worldchefs) and is held in accordance with international standards and regulations. The judging panel consists of licensed chef-judges from the Worldchefs representing 18 countries. A total of 22 teams from 11 countries will compete for top honors across various categories in the Championship. It should also be noted that 73 of the participants are chefs from foreign countries. In addition, 160 chefs will take part in the championship as individual competitors.

Every year, the organizers arrange tours to the exhibition for farmers from different regions of Azerbaijan. This year, over 500 farmers from 51 regions will participate in the exhibition.
