MILAN – Japan Management Association, the organiser of Foodex Japan 2020, has officially taken the decision to cancel the event, originally scheduled to be held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba during 10th to 13th March 2020.
This decision has been made based on the announcement of Japanese government on February 26th at 1pm, which requests event organizers to cancel huge events held in Japan to prevent infection from Coronavirus (COVID-19).
“We appreciate your support and understanding with our decision” said the organiser in a press release.
