About this expo
The Middle East Poultry Expo (MEP) is recognized as the largest specialized exhibition dedicated to the poultry industry within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This positioning is significant given Saudi Arabia's role as the leading poultry producer in the Middle East and Africa, and its status as the world's third-largest consumer of meat and poultry products. The event, scheduled for its 5th edition from October 4 to 6, 2026, provides an essential gathering point for investors in the sector and decision-makers from relevant authorities and bodies.
The exhibition comprehensively covers all segments of the poultry industry, including Farming and Agricultural Technologies & Food Security. It offers a vital trading platform designed to connect local investors with global suppliers and experts, thereby fostering investment opportunities within the poultry sector. Held concurrently are the Middle East Feed & Mills Expo and the Middle East Animal Health & Nutrition Expo, which collectively highlight technologies related to grain milling, storage, transportation, feed production, animal nutrition, and animal health for both livestock and poultry sectors.
