British Columbia Agrifoods Companies Dish Up Their Goods at Major Asian Food Expo

Eight British Columbia (B.C.) food companies will have the fruits of their labour on display at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) Food Expo, Asia's largest consumer food industry event, from August 11-15, 2016.
 
This year, the Ministry of International Trade and B.C.'s Trade and Investment Representative Office in Hong Kong organized a delegation of eight B.C. companies to attend or have their products represented at the expo in order to expand B.C. exports to international markets and raise awareness of quality B.C. agrifood products.
 
These products will be on display in the Canada Pavilion at the Food Expo in collaboration with the Canadian Food Exporters Association. The ministry has also organized one-on-one business meetings, a local grocery store and market tour, and a reception between B.C. company representatives and potential buyers and distributors.
