Dates and venue for Etho 2026
Etho 2026 runs from 26 to 29 November 2026 at the Belgrade Fair. The organizer is Beogradski sajam, which manages exhibitor logistics and on-site services.
Who exhibits and who attends Etho 2026
Exhibitors include makers of traditional food products, suppliers of production and packaging equipment, and businesses offering service and retail solutions. Visitor profiles span retail shops, restaurant and hotel buyers, and representatives of larger retail chains looking for regional assortments and beverages.
Supporting program themes
The accompanying program addresses protection of geographical origin, cooperatives, quality management systems, legal protection of recipes, packaging improvements and sales methods. Previous editions have focused on promotion, education and commercial matchmaking.
Practical tips for B2B prospecting at Etho 2026
- Segment prospects by capacity. Target producers with clear batch controls and willingness to negotiate supply terms for retail chains.
- Prepare digital product sheets. Shareable specs and traceability information speed decision making on the show floor.
- Highlight packaging and quality data. Buyers attending sessions on packaging and standards will ask for concrete certifications and sample labels.
- Book short meetings. Use on-site slots to secure follow-up calls rather than attempting long negotiations during the fair.
Institutional backing
Etho counts on support from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of the Republic of Serbia and the City of Belgrade. The fair is produced by Beogradski sajam.
