Australia’s food and beverage manufacturing system is vibrant, nimble, and innovative.

While there are many challenges, both local and global, and demands on the engine that is our food system, every day we see the sector adapt and advance.

As Australia’s most respected and comprehensive media platform for the food and beverage industry, Food & Drink Business is here to keep you up to date with all the latest news, issues and trends, new products, research, technology, and regulatory developments. 2026 is lining up as a year full of activity and promise. The Hive Awards enter its third year with winners announced in May (keep an eye out for when entries open in January) and Australia’s largest food expo, foodpro, returns in July, bringing the industry together from across the country and indeed, overseas.

There are so many opportunities for you to partner with us in 2026, and we are here, ready to explore them all with you.
