Baku to host XXII International Food Industry Exhibition
16.5.2016

The Baku Expo Center is to host one of the important regional events on food industry – the "WorldFood Azerbaijan 2016" International Exhibition on May 19-21.

Co-organizers of the Exhibition are Azerbaijan’s Agriculture Ministry, "Iteca Caspian" and "ITE Group" companies.

As in the previous years, the Exhibition is to be attended by the leading world and local producers, distributors and suppliers of food products from Germany, UAE, Belarus, Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, India, Spain, Italy, Lithuania, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and other countries.

Over the years WorldFood Azerbaijan has become an effective business platform, facilitating the search for new partners and strengthening pre-existing relationships through its ability to attract experts from the sector, thus defining the vector of development for the food industry in the region.

The exhibition is supported by Azerbaijani companies, whose participation accounts for 40% of the exhibition. There is a growing interest in the exhibition from international and especially European companies, which account for 30% of the total number of exhibitors. Every year the exhibition attracts new members and expands the range of products presented.

Traditionally WorldFood Azerbaijan unites several thematic exhibitions under one roof: food (WorldFood), beverages (WorldDrink) and technology (WorldFoodTech), covering much of the food market. Within these major sectors are individual zones for meat and poultry, canned foods, ice cream, groceries, ingredients, confectionery, beverages, oil and fat products, tea and coffee making and much more. In the dairy zone a variety of products will be on offer, this year from producers from Azerbaijan, Belarus and Egypt. Given that the country is increasing its food production sector, a wide range of modern equipment for different areas of the food industry will be on display at this year's exhibition.

The "WorldFood Azerbaijan 2016" International Exhibition has its own dedicated industry event – the Caspian International Packaging, Tare, Label and Printing Exhibition, Ipack Caspian 2016. The exhibition will include packaging machines, equipment for packaging and printing on the packaging, packaging materials, the finished products, and labelling products.
