Malaysia: Malaysian food and
beverages (F&B) exhibitors recorded RM71.7 million worth of sales during
the recently held trade fair ANUGA 2017 which took place in Cologne, Germany.
According to the Malaysia External
Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), this figure represented an increase of
5.8 per cent from the RM67.77 million recorded back in ANUGA 2015.
A total of 34 Malaysian
exporters had participated in the trade fair that took place from 7 to 11
October 2017.
The exporters were also able to
showcase their innovative and award winning products to 6,500 potential
business partners from over 100 countries and to more than 160,000 trade
visitors from 180 countries, while situated at the Malaysia Pavilion.
"The increasing consumer
awareness in nutrition value and healthcare has created a demand for functional food, healthy
processed food and organic food in the European continent. These are the areas our
exporters can capitalise on when exporting F&B to Europe," said MATRADE
Frankfurt's Trade Commissioner, Badrul Hisham Hilal.
According to Badrul, Germany is
Malaysia' s largest trading partner in the EU and MATRADE is optimistic that the
continued participation in trade fairs around the region will facilitate
Malaysian exporters' &B exports to the EU.
He added that MATRADE's
participation in the trade fair not only allowed local companies to present
their latest offerings but provide a platform for Malaysian companies to gather
various information on global trends particularly on taste, preference and
lifestyles of consumers from around the world, especially Europe.
Apart from the exhibition,
MATRADE has also coordinated more than 400 business meetings for Malaysian companies to meet up
with importers, distributors and wholesalers from many parts of the world. Among the products that
recorded the highest sales this year were confectionery, beverages, coconut & cocoa
products, palm oil products and instant noodles. This year, Stancodex Sdn Bhd
one of the Malaysian exhibitors was awarded with ANUGA Taste Innovation Show' with their
product 'Kerra Coconut Spread’.
The product is an extract of
coconut combined with special flavour and texture. The award is a recognition
given to brands at ANUGA with the most innovative products. Every year, closed
to 900 companies applied for it.
The award is a recognition to local
companies' capabilities and proof that Malaysian exporters are competitive
globally.
Apart from that, the exhibitors
have also received enquiries from foreign buyers from The Netherlands, Turkey,
China, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and others who showed strong interest to
source from Malaysia.
