Seven Armenian companies participated in the leading international trade fair for organic products, BioFach 2020 in Nuremberg on 12 - 15 February, thanks to support of the International Trade Centre (ITC) and its partners.
The participating companies are beneficiaries of Ready to Trade project, which is funded by the European Union, as part of the EU4Business initiative and aims to connect SMEs from Eastern Europe to global and in particular EU markets.
As part of ITC-supported delegation at BioFach, Armenian companies presented the variety of organic products, including dried fruit, herbs, and juices. Together with the “EU Green Agriculture Initiative in Armenia” and “Organic Armenia” Agricultural NGO, ITC helped SMEs to organize and design the booth, prepare promotional materials, and arrange B2B meetings at the fair.
