ITE Turkey FMCG & Energy Group Director Atilla Marangozoğlu; “The goal of further advancement of the Turkish food industry fuels greater interest in our exhibitions everyday. In addition, the developments and growth in the food industry that creates the bulk of the demand for the packaging industry, further increases the importance of the food processing industry as well. In this regard, the exhibitions offer a major business platform for the sectors’ professionals whereby they can access new markets and discuss new business partnership opportunities at the national and international levels. Kenya, which has reached a total exports level of 131 million USD this year, will be hosted as part of the “Guest Country Project” to be organized in partnership with DEIK Turkey – African Business Councils. We believe that hosting Kenya which has a major share in mainly tea and coffee as well as tropical fruit, corn, sugar, peas and potato exports in the world, as, a “Guest Country” , would make great contributions to ef
forts for increasing food industry trade between two countries.”
