FHA 2006 FAIR
"FOOD & HOTEL ASIA"
By Carlos Pheysey
April 2006
Coming up is the new edition of the biennial fair FHA 2006 - "Food & Hotel Asia", to be held from 25 to 28 April, 2006, in Singapore.
It is the largest foodstuff fair in Southeast Asia, for which is foreseen the participation of 3,000 exhibitors and 40,000 visitors from Asia and the world.

In 2004, Singapore imported from Brazil a total of US$380 million in foodstuff, beverages and tobacco, chiefly meat products, coffee items, tobacco leaves, alcoholic beverages, chocolates/cocoa, fruit and juices, and more.
Singapore acts as the main reexporting harbour worldwide, focal point for the distribution to all of Asia, without Customs duty tariffs on imports by (save for tobacco and alcoholic beverages), or transshipment through Singapore.

Brazil is the 7th largest supplier of apples to Singapore. The Brazilian exhibitors have already booked space in the Brazilian aisle (sector 3B2-01) of hall 3 of the complex Singapore Expo, pavillion under the aegis of IBRAF, the Brazilian Fruit Institute.
For instance, the company named Atlântica will exhibit a processed form, powder from fruit. There is potential for tangerines and grapes. The distance Brazil-Singapore prevents the feasibility of fruit easily perishable, but one can consider processed formats: juices, cristallized guava-paste, jams, etc.
The Brazilian booth aims to showcase the best in technology, sanitation and large agribusiness management in Brazil, the greatest agricultural power globally and currently a silo for the world. Thousands of Brazilian producers are already registered in www.braziltradenet.gov.br , multiplying the Brazilian exporting presence worldwide.

Data relating to this fair can be obtained from the website www.foodnhotelasia.com .
