The 15th edition of Prodexpo, the main exhibition in the Russian Federation and Eastern Europe for the Food & Beverage sector, closed its doors last week. The exhibition took place in Moscow from 11th to 15th February and extended over a surface of over 23.000 sq. m.. Last year's edition attracted 55.000 visitors and 1.100 exhibitors, including 450 foreign companies from 55 countries.
Consortium Piacenza Alimentare didn't miss the appointment and eight associate companies (Suncan, La Pizza + 1, Cantina Valtidone, Molino Dallagiovanna, Cantine 4 Valli, Il Poggiarello, Torre Fornello and Salumificio San Carlo) presented on the Russian market a wide product range including PDO cured meat products, CDO wines, fruit preserves and pizzas.
The beginning of the exhibition was anything but encouraging because there were not so many visitors, but the exhibitors' final judgement was positive. Someone was expecting better results but there is also someone who managed to end negotiations ongoing for sometime.
