Why you should be involved + what opportunities you can immediately harness:
- According to the OECD, Turkey ranks number seven in the world for agricultural production after USA, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Japan.
- The Turkish Health Ministry is working closely with food manufacturers to drive the development and production of healthy food to tackle epidemic levels of obesity. This is providing a driving force behind food innovation as food producers seek new and added value ingredients.

Why attend FI Istanbul 2020?
Affected by global trends such as changing consumption patterns, growing urbanization, the food industry in the Southern European, Middle Eastern and North African (SEMEA) region offers strong potential for growth in food products, mainly due to a high average population growth (2%), a large youth population base, a large expatriate population in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, increasing per capita income, and high consumer expenditure on food.
With a growing population, increased consumer spending and significant public sector investment, the Middle East and North Africa's rapidly expanding F&B industry is a gold mine waiting to be tapped.
Additionally, Turkey is a major agricultural producer with an increasingly positive food and beverage trade balance, offering easy access to raw materials.
