Fair at a Glance
Food companies from around the world will gather in Hong Kong for the annual HKTDC Food Expo. This leading food trade event continues to grow each year, and featured nearly 900 exhibitors from 19 countries and regions in 2011.
Top Table
The special section for luxury foods, Gourmet Zone, makes a welcome return in 2012, to feature the finest food from different countries and regions. At its debut in 2011, this zone included more than 40 exhibitors grouped under four themes: Sweet Delight, European Delicacies, Fine Dining, and LOHAS. Special events that attract visitor traffic to this zone include cooking demonstrations by star chefs, talks, forums and games.
Trade Dishes
The Trade Hall is a dedicated business platform for exhibitors to connect with trade buyers. The hall is organised by group pavilions, which in 2011 included exhibitors from Iran, Japan, Korea, Mexico and the Philippines. The Chinese mainland is well represented, with pavilions from Ningbo, Guizhou, Guangdong, Yunnan and Fujian.
Public Tastes
The Public Hall encompasses exhibitors in Hall 1 and Halls 3F-G, which helps exhibitors build brand awareness and ensures instant feedback for new items. A major highlight of the Public Hall is the Premium Food Zone, which featured nearly 40 exhibitors promoting branded food and beverage products in 2011. These included Chewy, Comvita, Hoi Tin Tong, Hsin Tung Yang, Kee Wah, KOFCO, Lee Kum Kee, Maxim, MEYER, NINJIOM, Nissin, Sau Tao, Tai Pan, Tao Ti Tea Series, Tung Chun, Wing Wah and Vita Green.
Dim Sum Treats
The Food Expo is full of activities to entertain and educate, including cooking demonstrations, discussions with well-known food columnists, games, lucky draws, and seminars on nutrition and food safety.
Delicious Combination
The fair is run concurrently with other related trade events in the food and health sector: the HKTDC Hong Kong International Tea Fair and the International Conference & Exhibition of the Modernization of Chinese Medicine & Health Products (ICMCM).

Exhibitors' Quotes
"We export seafood, mainly abalone, lobster and top shell, into Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. This is our third participation here – Hong Kong is a good place to do business, especially for the Chinese mainland market. At last year's Food Expo we took orders worth US$5 million – we made about 10 good contacts, including one particularly good mainland contact. This year we have seen buyers from Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and the mainland. We have taken orders, but as our season has not yet started in Mexico we can't calculate yet how much they will be worth. I like the organisation of the fair – I get replies to queries quickly, and everyone is very friendly and professional."
Celina Dominguez Garcia, Marketing Director,
SCPP Pescadores Nacionales de Abulon, S.C. de R.L., Mexico
"We focus on making health products using sea cucumbers and Korean red ginseng – we are the only brand to use these two ingredients together. We've been joining this show for five years now, as here we can promote our products to international buyers. We are just about to sign an agreement with a Chinese mainland agent to distribute our products in the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, so we're very interested in meeting buyers from these markets. We've had interest from these areas as well as from India, Japan and even other Korean companies. This is a good event, and the facilities are excellent."
Kang Yang Gyu, CEO, Heawon, Korea
Buyers' Quotes
"I am an importer/exporter concerned mainly with organic beverages. I have visited the fair before, and found it useful. This time, I have seen a few new products that I like, including juices and teas – in fact, I am about to place an order for US$15,000 with one company."
Djamel Megueni, Managing Director, Eu-ming Trading Sdn Bhd, Malaysia
"I am concerned with the wholesale side of our business and I'm visiting the fair to direct source from manufacturers. We have a large Chinese population in New Zealand and they want to be able to buy products familiar to them – and this fair in Hong Kong is the best place for us to meet the suppliers. I'm particularly interested in noodles, rice, and sauces. I've already met with some big names such as Chewy, Nissin and Tung Chun – I will take samples back to New Zealand, get costs and discuss logistics and will place orders later. I have found the business matching service to be very useful – HKTDC found companies suitable for my business and introduced my company to these suppliers. I was also able to use the services of a translator to talk with Japanese suppliers."
