22nd Azerbaijan International Food Industry Exhibition

WorldFood Azerbaijan 2016, one of the most important and significant events in the region’s food industry, will take place from 19-21 May at Baku Expo Centre. Over the years, the exhibition has established itself as a leading event in the Caspian region’s food industry. WorldFood Azerbaijan provides a unique impetus for developing the food industry and is rated in terms of the number and quality of food industry professionals visiting. For many years, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Azerbaijan has shown its invaluable support for WorldFood Azerbaijan. The exhibition is organised by Iteca Caspian and ITE Group.

Each year, the exhibition features leading manufacturers, distributors and suppliers
of food products from both the Azerbaijan and global food markets. More than 200 companies from Belarus, India, Italy, Spain, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, the UAE, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, France, and the Czech Republic are expected to exhibit in 2016. There will also be national stands from Bulgaria, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey and other countries.

Exhibition sectors will include fish, meat and poultry, tinned food, dairy products, groceries, confectionary, refrigeration systems, drinks and much more.

WorldFood Azerbaijan is an excellent platform for discussing the trends and issues for industry development and for presenting new products and technologies. The Retail Centre will be introduced this year - a special platform for suppliers, representatives of retail chains and distributors to meet. It is an excellent opportunity for managers of food companies and representatives of retail chains to hold business meetings.

Ipack Caspian 2016, the Caspian international exhibition of packaging, containers, labelling and printing will take place alongside WorldFood Azerbaijan, presenting packaging equipment for various industries.

In order to increase its economic potential and resolve issues of diversifying export structures, Azerbaijan has put a great deal of effort into the development of the agriculture and food industries. The fundamental conditions for producing high quality products for export include introducing new technologies and sharing experience, both of which are facilitated at WorldFood Azerbaijan. The exhibition has established itself as a reliable foundation for holding meetings, presenting equipment, goods and services for the food industry, finding clients, strengthening existing relationships with business partners, and entering new markets.
