Buy BC Pavilion at Grocery & Specialty Food West 2025

The Grocery & Specialty Food (GSF) West 2025 trade show and conference took place on April 14 and 15 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food’s Marketing Development and Trade Unit hosted a 2,200 sq. ft. Buy BC Pavilion. The pavilion featured 37 government-subsidized booths for Buy BC food and beverage producers and processors to exhibit their products to domestic and international buyers.

The Buy BC team was also onsite actively engaging vendors and attendees. The team hosted a Buy BC information booth and meeting area where companies could connect with grocery retailers and distributors. This year’s Buy BC Pavilion showed how strong our local food sector is. Buyers met with Buy BC members, explored and secured new business opportunities.

GSF is Canada’s premier grocery trade show in the West, hosted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers. The event brought together top brands, new products, and the latest trends in food and retail. Attendees had the chance to see live product demos, take part in interactive sessions, and connect with leaders in the industry. It was a great place to learn, share ideas, and explore the future of grocery and specialty food.
