The Eswatini Investment Promotion Authority (EIPA) has issued a final call for local food and beverage companies to apply for space at the Kaohsiung Food Show 2025 (KFS), set for October 23-26, 2025, in Taiwan. Applications close on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

Selected firms will feature in the Eswatini Pavilion, organised in partnership with the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA). Applications can be submitted online via this link.

KFS is among Asia’s leading food trade fairs, drawing over 320 exhibitors and 16,000 buyers in 2024. Exhibitors gain direct access to distributors, importers, and retailers across the Asian market.

“This is a final call for Eswatini food and beverage businesses to seize the opportunity to access the Asian market, meet influential buyers, and showcase their products to thousands of international stakeholders,” said Thandeka Dlamini, EIPA’s Manager of External Trade Promotion.

Eswatini exporters also benefit from tariff cuts under the Eswatini-Taiwan Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECA).

Bilateral trade hit US$8.19 million in 2024, with exports up more than 29% since 2017. EIPA urges all eligible businesses to apply before the deadline and position their brands on this global stage.
