Ingredients Technical Training Mission to China, the Philippines & Indonesia

March 11-31, 2007

Dear Exporter:

On behalf of the Canadian Food Exporters Association (CFEA) and Food Beverage Canada (FBC) we're pleased to invite you to participate in an Ingredients Technical Training Mission to China, the Philippines & Indonesia.

Tentative Agenda *Registration Form *PDF format, requires Adobe Acrobat Reader

There are two components to this program:

1. You will have the opportunity to present your company/ingredients at technical workshops to decision makers in various food processing companies. The workshops are designed to highlight the differences between Canadian ingredient manufacturers versus their international competitors and to increase brand awareness of Canadian ingredient companies' capacity in China and SE Asia. The workshops will also provide food product developers and technicians with application knowledge to enhance the palatability of their processed foods and beverages. CFEA & FBC will be working with local distributors and the various Canadian Embassies to identify appropriate clientele to invite to the workshops.

2. You will have the opportunity to exhibit at:
FI Asia from March 15-17, 2007 - a highly prestigious & respected event - gaining its reputation for delivering a quality audience of high profile food ingredient professionals from all over the world. If you want exposure to one of the world's fastest growing emerging markets and access to thousands of Chinese and international food manufacturers, then Fi Asia-China is the exhibition for you.
FIC China from March 28-30, 2007 - the largest scale and highest grade trade show in Asia, it has become an annual gathering of domestic and foreign counterparts in food additives, ingredients and food industry in China and is widely recognized and well supported by colleagues from food circles.
