At the International Autumn Food Exhibition WorldFood Moscow 2026, the Purchasing Center for Retail Chains™ will be organized again. This is a unique platform for business negotiations. Food and beverage suppliers will be able to personally hold an express presentation for buyers of the largest retail chains in Russia and the CIS and agree on the supply of their products in one day.
The organizer of the Center is KVK "Imperia Forum".
3,528 negotiations
2,834 preliminary contracts
High commercial efficiency is achieved thanks to careful preparation and matchmaking technology: meetings are scheduled in advance only with buyers interested in a specific product category. More than 80% of negotiations at the exhibition end with the signing of preliminary supply contracts.
In 2025, two new areas were added to the traditional format of negotiations: negotiations between foreign suppliers and foreign trade buyers and Contract Expo - negotiations with buyers from the CIS directly at the stands of the participants.
This year, the Purchasing Center for Retail Chains™ will continue its work at WorldFood Moscow, bringing together suppliers and buyers in the most effective format.
WorldFood Moscow 2026 will host three formats of negotiations:
Purchasing Center for Retail Chains, September 15–16 - the traditional format of negotiations between suppliers and buyers of Russian chains.
Center for Purchasing Networks (FEA), September 17 - negotiations on supplies between foreign suppliers and buyers from Russian chains responsible for the direction of foreign economic activity.
More than 200 category buyers from federal and regional retail chains of Russia will take part in the work of the Center. Key market players have been invited to participate: Auchan, X5 Group, Magnit, VkusVill, METRO, Lenta, Azbuka Vkusa, Ozon, Svetofor, Verny, Yandex Lavka, Samokat, Magnolia, Dixy and many others.
