German food importers regard Peruvian cacao as one of the best in the world, thus they will provide advice to the Inca country's producers aimed at exporting these grains without any setbacks, Peru's Hamburg-based Trade Office (OCEX) informed Wednesday.
During a meeting with
German Cocoa Trade Association General-Manager Rodger Wegner, the European nation's interest in
cacao as supply for food and cosmetic products was highlighted.
OCEX Director Gycs Gordon indicated OCEX Hamburg had reached an agreement with the German Cocoa Trade Association at
COTECA fair.
Therefore, German businesspeople will advise Peruvian producers in the entry of
cacao into the
EU market.
"This is extremely important as it shows recognition for our product," Gordon expressed.
COTECA is a coffee, tea, and cacao fair. It was held in Hamburg on October 10-12, with 200 exhibitors from some 40 nations that showcased their innovative products and services.
Latin America Day 2018
The LAT is the annual conference of the Business Association for Latin America (LAV) and the leading event for German-Latin American business relations.
Representatives from the spheres related to industry and politics use this opportunity to showcase the latest developments in the region, and particularly the business opportunities available for German companies.
It should be noted that —thanks to the Inca country's attendance— ties with Germany's trade sector guilds were strengthened and business opportunities were offered to entrepreneurs.
