Gwangju and Daegu Dalbit Alliance Hall, Korea Food Master Hall, Gwangju High-End Kimchi Hall, Traditional Liquor Special Hall, and Jeju Special Hall will welcome visitors.

The Fair will introduce local agricultural products, processed foods, organic foods, and food machinery, and help companies develop new markets through export and purchase consultations.

Gwangju's mayor emphasized the importance of fostering "food tech", combining food and technology, and said, "We are living in an era where kimchi, gimbap, and ramen can be found even when we go abroad" adding, "Gwangju, which is called the home of flavor, should take a leading role in ushering the K-Food era."
