The Regional Government, through the Regional Secretariat for Agriculture and Food and the Azores Brand Management and Promotion Office, will attend SAGAL 2026 – "Flavours of Portugal" Export Fair, which will take place at the Lisbon Exhibition and Congress Centre  (FIL) from April 13 to 15.

For the Regional Secretary for Agriculture and Food, António Ventura, participation in this event “reiterates the Region’s commitment to the excellence, authenticity and competitiveness of Azorean products.”

“The Azores Brand is now a recognised seal of quality both within and outside the country. This event is a strategic opportunity to boost the international visibility of our companies and open new business opportunities,” the Regional Secretary stressed, highlighting the Azores as a region producing top-quality goods, based on "sustainability, tradition and innovation.”

SAGAL has established itself as one of the leading business platforms exclusively dedicated to the international promotion of the Portuguese food sector.

This year’s edition is expected to bring together around 400 national exhibitors and over 1,000 international buyers from demanding global markets such as the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Singapore and Brazil, as well as various European countries and Portuguese-speaking African countries. 

With exhibitor satisfaction levels rising over the last four years, the Azorean Government is investing in this strictly professional event to expand the presence of the archipelago's products in new markets, create and consolidate distribution channels, and boost the regional business sector.
