On 22 April 2025, we had the chance to attend the pre-launch of My Food 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. This event, organized by Montgomery Asia, is more than just a trade show—it marks the beginning of a movement to promote local food suppliers and strengthen Malaysia’s food security.

The event was officiated by YBhg. Datuk Seri Isham bin Ishak, Secretary-General of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MAFS), and it was inspiring to see the industry’s leaders come together to discuss how Malaysia’s food supply chains can evolve to become more sustainable and self-sufficient.

What really caught our attention was the focus on sustainability and local sourcing. The demand for fresh, nutritious, and locally sourced ingredients is growing, and My Food 2025 is here to support that shift. The event provided an excellent platform for suppliers and industry players to connect and collaborate on how to build a stronger food ecosystem in Malaysia.

We also loved how sustainability was a major theme throughout the event, from reducing carbon footprints to educating buyers about the benefits of sourcing locally. It's clear that this initiative is set to drive meaningful change in Malaysia’s food industry, creating opportunities for local businesses and strengthening Malaysia’s position in global food security efforts.

The full My Food Show will take place from 24 to 26 April 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, and we can’t wait to see even more of these important conversations unfold. It’s not just a trade show—it’s a movement for a better, more sustainable food future in Malaysia.
