Opportunity for NSW food processors to show their wares at Fine Food Australia

Fine Food Australia gives food and beverage processors an opportunity to show their fine food products to potential purchasers.

The exhibition attracts almost 27,000 visitors, 4500 buyers and more than 1000 Australian and international exhibitors. It presents new and innovative products from around Australia and from more than 45 other countries, as well as live demonstrations, masterclasses and industry-recognised competitions.

This year’s Fine Food Australia will be held from 11–14 September at the International Convention Centre Sydney at Darling Harbour.

And your company can be there. Up to 16 selected NSW food businesses will be able to be part of the NSW Department of Industry’s stand at the exhibition.

But you need to get in quickly as the closing date to register your interest is next Friday, 31 March.

“This event is Australia’s largest trade exhibition for the food and beverage industry, so it presents a great opportunity for food businesses to promote their products and services to a very large, targeted audience,” said Graeme Cuthbert, NSW Department of Industry Skills and Economic Development acting deputy secretary.

“At Fine Food Australia, NSW companies can meet potential buyers, get up to date with the latest trends and check out their competition. Participants on the NSW stand in 2016 reported that they generated leads from both overseas and interstate. I encourage NSW food producers who want to grow their business to submit their expressions of interest now.”

“Fine Food Australia is an opportunity to get exposure to retailers as well as meet customers from overseas locations like Singapore or Hong Kong that we wouldn’t normally meet, as it draws those people. It is definitely an opportunity to raise profile and allow us to continue to build brand awareness, as well as giving us the ability to show new products,” explained Martin Talacko, founder of previous Fine Food exhibitor Saldoce Fine Foods.

As a Sydney-based manufacturer of allergen-sensitive and gluten-free foods, Saldoce is exporting about 20 varieties of product to countries including China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the USA, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand, India, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea, as well as the Middle East. The company reports continued growth in exports, which expanded about 30% last year alone.
