Azores at SISAB PORTUGAL 2018 - International Trade Fair for Portuguese Food and Beverage
The Azores participate with a stand of their own. It will feature about thirty regional companies that be represented at SISAB PORTUGAL 2018 - International Trade Fair for Portuguese Food and Beverage, an event running between February 12 and 14 at Altice Arena in Lisbon.
This event, which is considered the largest business platform in the agri-food sector, brings together more than 500 producers as 1,700 international buyers from 130 countries.
Regional companies participating in the event are based on several islands and represent several sectors of activity with export potential.
These companies will present several products such as dairy products, including a variety of cheeses, butter, yogurt or ice cream in addition to milk, preserves, fresh and frozen fish, condiments, confectionery and jams, wines, liqueurs, spirits and beers, juices, meat and processed meat products, and pineapples.
The participation of the Region falls within the strategy to increase the export of regional products and services developed by the Government of the Azores.
This plan includes multiple initiatives and several support measures for companies, namely the participation in fairs, promotional activities and business missions. They are intended to promote the external visibility of the Region and, particularly, of companies and products bearing the "Azores Brand" seal, thus encouraging new business opportunities.
