Philippines looks to make $28m in export sales at Foodex
The local companies will feature the country’s premium tropical products, including banana, coconut, mango and pineapple, in the 42nd International Food and Beverage Exhibition, popularly known as Foodex Japan, from March 7 to 10 in Chiba, Japan.
As a major gateway to the Japanese market, Foodex welcomes over 3,000 local and international exhibitors, as well as 75,000 buyers from the food manufacturing, service, distribution and trading sectors this March.
“With the existing Japan-Philippines Economic Partnership Agreement [Jpepa], Japan provides an attractive and vast market for Philippine food suppliers to serve the retail, food service and manufacturing industries,” said Rosvi Gaetos, executive director of the Center for International Trade Exhibitions and Missions. “Through this participation, Philippine companies can benchmark and update themselves on the demands and current regulations of the Japanese market.”
