Europe's leading health, natural and nutrition show

This year the IPD accompanies reliable companies from Egypt, Colombia and Kyrgyzstan to the HiE fair in Frankfurt.

Are you looking for a specific product? And you want to be sure that the product quality is good, the supplier reliable?

We will connect you with selected exporters of natural ingredients and arrange individual B2B meetings directly at the trade fair. Our companies will bring along a variety of products at HiE 2018.

The Egyptian company Tiba Starch & Glucose Manufacturing will be presenting, for example, food-grade maltodextrin, glucose and rice protein. Rice protein is a still little known superfood, which is not only extremely nutritious and contains vital and mineral substances and trace elements, but is also very tasty. Visit the company in Hall 8F 100.

From Colombia the company Proténica will bring a new product, the special Magdalena River Nut Oil, which is extracted from nuts that grow along the Magdalena River. Due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, the native oil offers excellent anti-oxidative and moisturizing properties. Furthermore, clinical studies have proven its anti-aging effect.

The Kyrgyz exporter Biovit presents extracts from chamomile, marigold, Hypericum androsaemum, liquorice and Mumijo/Shilajit.

All companies have been pre-selected and carefully evaluated by IPD. Criteria such as product quality, export capability and capacity as well as compliance with international standards and certifications have been considered.

Import Promotion Desk brings a broad range of specialities to Anuga

Bonn, 12.09.2017 – At Anuga, the world’s largest food industry exhibition, to be held in Cologne from 7 to 11 October 2017, the Import Promotion Desk (IPD) will be attending with 18 producers from 7 countries. Exporters from Ethiopia, Egypt, Kyrgyzstan, Tunisia, Columbia, Indonesia and Peru will be supported by the IPD in presenting their products at the exhibition. The companies offer high quality natural ingredients from their regions.

Bonn, February 16, 2016 – The Import Promotion Desk (IPD), the import promotion service provider in Germany, is expanding its cooperation with Egypt. To that purpose representatives of the IPD and the Egyptian Agricultural Export Council (AEC) signed a memorandum of understanding at the Fruit Logistica trade fair where Egypt participated as a partner country. Until 2018, the IPD will help Egyptian producers become ready for export. „With this agreement we want to promote sustainable and structured import from Egypt and strengthen the local private sector. Because successful import promotion benefits both importers and exporters“, says Dr. Julia Hoffmann , head of the IPD.

At the Fruit Logistica the IPD showcased two exhibitors from Egypt. One of them, the Egyptian Grower’s Organization (EGO), took part in the trade fair for the first time. An association of five agricultural businesses which farm in the country’s different climate zones, the EGO is able to offer single-source products such as fresh mangoes, pomegranates and grapes over an extended period of time. At the Fruit Logistica the group conducted several positive business talks including one that promises a business deal for mangoes.

First-ever Ethiopian country booth

The IPD also presented the world’s first Ethiopian country booth at a trade fair for fruit and vegetables. German companies were especially interested in the beans, chilies, strawberries, grapes and snow peas offered by the four Ethiopian exporters. Initial successful business talks were conducted by the Meki-Batu Union, the largest association of cooperatives in Ethiopia, which participated in the trade fair following an invitation by the IPD. The IPD exhibitor portfolio at the Fruit Logistica was complemented by Tunisia and Colombia.
