About the show

China Refrigerated Food Expo follows the frozen and refrigerated food business from ingredient through processing to the cold chain: quick-frozen rice, noodle and flour products, aquatic and meat products, catering ingredients, hotpot and barbecue ingredients, raw and auxiliary materials, seasonings, frozen bakery, coffee and tea drinks, snacks, frozen fruit and vegetables, food processing and packaging equipment, packaging materials, cold-chain logistics technology, franchise chains, and central kitchens with cooking robots.

The expo is built as a full-chain platform linking production, supply and sales, and is presented by its organiser as a leading exhibition for the frozen-products chain. Major Chinese producers use it as their annual showcase, and the floor is organised into themed zones that extend the frozen-food core into bakery, coffee and tea drinks, fruit and snack categories.

Reference

Co-located shows
The expo is staged with three shows covering catering ingredients and hotpot and barbecue, food processing and packaging equipment, and cold-chain logistics and technical equipment; it also runs alongside the Zhengzhou edition of HOTELEX, the hotel supplies and catering expo.
Matchmaking and buyers
A dedicated channel-matching session brings close to 100 buyers from across China to the floor, among them supply-chain companies, new retail and social-commerce channels, community group buying, chain catering and supermarkets, and matches them with producers and equipment suppliers.
Concurrent programme
A conference strand runs with the exhibition: a frozen-food thousand-merchants conference alongside a prepared-food industry conference, meetings on catering founder brands, cold-chain development, noodle-product innovation and smart cooking robots, plus a coffee-latte-art competition, a regional-cuisine competition and a food-culture festival.
Edition history
The platform behind the expo has run frozen-food events since 2008, when the first China Frozen Food Industry Conference was held in Zhengzhou. The exhibition moved into the Zhengzhou International Convention and Exhibition Centre in 2013, added a catering industry expo with a cookery competition in 2017, and in 2025 the organiser formed a joint venture with Shanghai Bohua.
