The exceptional growth in the number of Brazilian and international visitors at the second edition of ANUFOOD Brazil reinforces the exhibitions\u2019 importance for the food and beverage market in South America. On March 09 \u2013 11, more than 220 exhibiting companies showcased their products and negotiated new business with more than 9,000 qualified visitors, coming from all regions of Brazil and 31 countries, like <\/strong>Germany, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Bolivia, <\/strong>Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, United States, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, among others. For the Managing Director of Koelnmesse Brazil, Cassiano Facchinetti, the increased international presence and large number of innovative new projects made the exhibition even more comprehensive and contributed to the success of the event. “We heavily increased the number of exhibitors compared to the first edition, and the number of visitors exceeded our expectations by far.\u201d The schedule of simultaneous events at the exhibition, organized in partnership with important industry trade associations, included several conferences, guided tours, speaking sessions and activities for VIP buyers.\u00a0 ANUFOOD Brazil was sponsored by Makro Food Service, BRF and The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA).<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Organized by the Brazilian subsidiary of Koelnmesse, global leader in organizing exhibitions for the food and beverage industry, ANUFOOD Brazil is inspired by Anuga, the leading food and beverage exhibition in the world. “The concept of ANUFOOD Brazil is unique and successful. It demonstrates the need for an event which is exclusively focused on food and beverages in Brazil, acting as an export platform for companies from Brazil and exploring strategic markets from around the world,\u201d highlights Facchinetti. The exhibition provided exhibitors and visitors an opportunity to grow and strengthen their businesses in the Brazilian market, as well as opportunities to export and position their products around the globe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anne Schumacher, Vice President Trade Fair management – Food & Food Technology at\u00a0Koelnmesse<\/em>\u00a0GmbH, also highlighted the success of the event: “The second edition of the event has not only demonstrated the potential of this promising market in South America, ANUFOOD Brazil has also proven that it is exactly the right platform to bring together the international demand with the up-and-coming Brazilian F&B industry at the highest level. With that,\u00a0 it offers a perfect opportunity for globally active companies to benefit from the expected accelerated growth in the region at an early stage. That is what makes Anufood Brazil a trade fair contributing to the success of our exhibitors and visitors.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ANUFOOD Brazil received national and international qualified visitors, with the presence of leading retails and food service companies, such as Carrefour, Assa\u00ed Atacadista, Eataly restaurant, GPA Group, Big Group, St Marche supermarket, Tottus hypermarket, Oregon Foods sac and<\/em> Oxxo<\/p>\n

Positive feedback from the national and international exhibitors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exhibitors drew an extremely positive balance regarding the 2nd<\/sup> edition of ANUFOOD Brazil. One of the fair’s sponsors, Makro Food Service, celebrated the number of visitors in the event. \u201cIt is very important to participate in a fair like ANUFOOD, which comes with Koelnmesse\u2019s credentials, the company that organizes ANUGA, the largest food event in the world. When we were approached by the organization, we decided to play a leading role – sponsors. The fair far exceeded our expectations. The movement was superpositive. It was not just a relationship booth and we generated business from day one\u201d, said Marcelo Abrantes Pinheiro, CEO at Makro Food Service. Gerson Mantovani, Director at BRF, confirmed the growth of ANUFOOD Brazil in comparison with the first edition. \u201cIt is very important to have an ANUGA-style fair that can connect all countries in Latin America. I think this year the fair was much better, busier, with a more dynamic agenda, a lot more productive meetings\u201d. Ulisses Bambini, Director at Bello Fruit, was able to establish good contacts at the trade fair: \u201cWe have already participated in Anuga twice and have been at ANUFOOD since its first edition. We made some deals during the fair and we expect to expand our customer portfolio.\u201d Vitor Ribeiro do Vale Gomes, Director at Villani Salumi also evaluated the company’s participation at the trade show as a major success: \u201cVillani is an Italian company that always participates in events like this in Europe. We have already participated in ANUGA. Our expectation is to promote the brand and also make deals. And we found partners here, some supermarkets, hotels, bakeries. It was very good”. At the German country pavilion, Clemens Wirbel, Trade Fair Division at the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture, also evaluated the company’s participation at the trade show as a major success: “We are here to help German exhibitors to explore new markets in South America, especially in Brazil. I can say that they are happy and getting good deals. We were here last year and our pavilion has become bigger”.<\/p>\n
