Brasil Pavilion to have a large presence at ISM

In five years, Brazilian exports of sweets, candies and snacks grew by more than 32% and Brazilian companies bet on portfolio diversity to keep up the pace and ensure good business at ISM 2020 next year in Cologne at the Brasil Pavilion in Hall 3.1.

Brazilian confectionery exports have increased more than 32% since 2015 and have reached US$ 429.6 million from January to October 2019. Record sales at Yummex fair, in Dubai, at the end of October confirm the industry’s good performance, and Brazilian companies are expected to arrive upbeat at ISM 2020, the snack and candy fair, which will be held in Cologne, on February 2-5.

The Brazilian delegation at ISM is made up of 21 confectionery and biscuit companies – Bauducco, Berbau, Cacau Show, Cory, Divine, Dori, Embare, Fhom, Francfort, Garoto, Hershey’s do Brasil, Jazam, Marilan, M. Dias Branco, Montevergine, Neugebauer, Peccin, Santa Edwiges, Simas, Soberana and Toffano. They will exhibit at the Brasil Pavilion, Hall 3.1, organised by ABICAB (Brazilian Chocolates, Peanuts and Candies Manufacturers Association) and ABIMAPI (Brazilian Manufacturers Association of Biscuit, Pasta and Industrialised Bread & Cakes), with support from Apex-Brasil (Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency).

“The group of companies present their rich and varied portfolio at the fair, with new releases of candies, caramels and chocolates, in innovative flavours and formats, inspired by the rich Brazilian diversity and tradition, reinforced by strong investments in recent years. This is the combination that has ensured our exports’ exceptional performance,” said Ubiracy Fonseca, ABICAB’s President.

Some highlights at the Brazilian companies’ stands include healthier versions of new and traditional products, and the adapted flavours of typical sweets and ingredients from Brazil.
