Spain Named Country of Honor at the 2025 Americas Food & Beverage Show

Miami, FL – Wednesday, June 11, 2025– The World Trade Center Miami is proud to announce that Spain has been named the 2025 Country of Honor at the Americas Food & Beverage Show, taking place September 10–12, 2025, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Spain’s prominent participation includes 54 exhibition stands, making it one of the largest international delegations at this year’s event. The Americas Food & Beverage Show is organized by the World Trade Center Miami.

The Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce has played a pivotal role in organizing Spain’s pavilion and showcasing the country’s commitment to global food and beverage trade. Spain’s designation as Country of Honor reflects its longstanding support of the Show, its globally recognized food industry, and its expanding commercial relationships throughout the Western Hemisphere.

Ivan Barrios, President & CEO of the World Trade Center Miami, highlighted the strength of the partnership:

“We are honored to recognize Spain as the 2025 Country of Honor. Spain has been an integral part of the Show, and our partnership with the Spain-U.S. Chamber of Commerce has helped bring some of the country’s most innovative and high-quality food and beverage producers to the forefront of international trade. This distinction celebrates Spain’s leadership, dedication, and continued investment in the Americas market.”

Juan Carlos Pereira, Executive Director of the Spain-United States Chamber of Commerce, reflected on the growing impact of the show and the value of continued collaboration:

“Being part of the Americas Food & Beverage Show 2025 was a strategic move for the Spain-US Chamber and its companies. This tradeshow offers an exceptional B2B platform for our producers and exporters to showcase their products not only to US buyers but also importers and distributors from the Caribbean and Central America, which is an interesting market to consider. This year, we’re proud to present around 60 companies, marking our fifth consecutive year as the organizers of the Spain Pavilion. Each year, our presence grows stronger — and so does the reputation of this show.
We are deeply grateful for the unwavering support of the World Trade Center Miami since day one. Their collaboration has been essential to making this ongoing participation a reality. We’ve had a front-row seat to the exponential growth of this tradeshow, and we truly believe it’s becoming a key business event across the hemisphere. We also value the World Trade Center’s broader commitment to international trade — a mission we proudly share and support.”
