Gustus 2026 will take place in Naples from 15 to 17 November 2026 at the Mostra d'Oltremare. The event is presented on its official site as the professional exhibition for agri-food, food and wine, beverages and food technology. The Campania Region has opened a call for Campanian companies to join its regional collective at the fair.
According to the official site, opening hours are 10:00 to 18:00 on each of the three days. The event is aimed primarily at professional operators across the agri-food chain, food and wine, beverage, catering and food technology sectors, rather than the general public.
Regional collective: who can apply, cost and deadline
The Campania Region plans a regional collective for agri-food businesses with an operating base in Campania, duly registered with the Chamber of Commerce (CCIAA) and meeting the requirements set out in the regional notice.
Companies admitted to the Campania collective will pay a participation fee of 800 euros plus VAT.
Expressions of interest must be sent by 13:00 on 30 September 2026 to [email protected]. The Region states that the list of admitted companies will be published subsequently; a final list was not included in the documentation available for this article.
Businesses considering an application should check the full regional notice for eligibility requirements, required documents and submission procedures before the deadline.
Meet&Match with international buyers
A Meet&Match programme with international buyers is scheduled for Sunday 15 November, from 10:00 to 13:00, in the Sala Mediterraneo.
The regional notice refers to 13 delegations of international buyers, including buyers from Switzerland, Spain, Poland, Germany, Turkey, Serbia, Romania, Tunisia, Greece and Bulgaria.
Companies interested in business meetings should follow the instructions in the regional notice and the fair's official channels for participation arrangements.
What the last edition looked like
The figures published on the official Gustus site refer to the previous edition and are not a forecast for 2026, but they give readers a sense of the scale of the event. Reported figures include 13,400 professional visitors, 200 exhibitors, 8,000 square metres of exhibition space, three pavilions, 24 international buyers and 93 show cooking events.
Beyond commercial exhibition stands, Gustus includes show cooking, training courses, conferences and opportunities to develop business relationships.
It is not verifiable from the sources acquired whether the full programme of conferences, show cooking and B2B meetings for 2026 is already final. Readers should check the official Gustus site for updates as the dates approach.
Export and international markets in focus for 2026
The 2026 edition is also presented as an occasion to discuss exports, market diversification and the internationalisation of agri-food businesses. An article on the official Gustus site links Gustus 2026 to Italian agri-food exports, internationalisation and commercial opportunities in Asian markets.
For Campanian producers, this makes the Naples dates relevant both as a trade showcase and as a point of contact with buyers and discussions about foreign markets. Practical details on visitor accreditation, prices or access requirements beyond the general information published on the official site were not verified in the sources used here.
