Exhibitor info & floor notes (Hall 2 & Hall 1C/1D)
Hall 2: Ideal for ready-to-eat food businesses — expect open floor space, food-safe zones, electric power supply, hygiene-approved layouts, demo kitchens, sampling counters and cold-storage access. Exhibitors should plan for clean, food-grade flooring and ventilation (especially for frying/roasting demos).
Hall 1C & 1D: Better suited to ingredients, raw-material and non-perishable suppliers, packaging and labelling vendors — modular booths, shelf-ready displays, bulk packaging showcases, storage for dry materials, and easy logistics access through service docks. Noise and smell levels likely lower here; ensure ventilation and hygiene compliance if dealing with powders or spices.

Sustainability & compliance notes
Given the perishable and food-product nature of this Expo, exhibitors are encouraged to use eco-friendly, reusable or biodegradable packaging — especially for gift boxes and festive sweets.
