Asia’s leading food fair to host largest
contingent of global buyers
Asia’s leading food and beverage fair,

You will be able to try a wide variety of worldwide delicacies prepared by
companies selling food, tea and other beverages at the Kim Dae Jung convention
center from Thursday.
Jongmin has more.
The GIFF celebrates the worldwide vast food and drink scene and is said to
have something for everyone. It’s not a secret that Gwangju
is home to delicious food, but not many people may know that tasty worldwide
dishes can also be found in Gwangju annually.
The trade show, to be held from October 11th to 14th, features an
international line-up of exhibitors, including as many as 180 companies from
all around the world.
This year, the trade show is strategically positioned to penetrate the
single-person household food trend around packaging, technology and flavors
that are taking product development forward as the fast-spreading trend of
people remaining single, according to the show’s organizers, is the biggest new target market.
Gwangju is looking to enhance trade partnerships, including foreign
investment in the agricultural and food sectors as well as other support
industries, he added.
The four-day event will include person-to-person consultation sessions,
seminars and food exhibitions, aimed at giving local and international firms
wider opportunities to show off their products and meet with various retailers
and importers.
