11 Philippine food manufacturing companies set their eyes on the Taiwanese mainstream market as they join this year’s FoodPhilippines Pavilion at the Taipei Food Show 2019 happening at the World Trade Center Taipei on 19-22 June 2019.
This year, Manila Economic and Cultural Office (MECO), along with its commercial affairs section, the Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in Taipei, partners with the Center for International Trade Exhibitions and Missions (CITEM) to once again showcase our lineup of top-tier food manufacturers and exporters at the FoodPhilippines Pavilion at the said show. Taipei Food Show is Taiwan’s leading food trade fair and exhibition platform and is considered one of Asia’s leading food shows. Under Taipei Food Show Umbrella, the trade exhibit will house several halls that will feature the following categories: Foodtech & Pharmatech Taipei, Taipei Pack, Taiwan HORECA and Halal Taiwan. Organized by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), Food Taipei aims to link the entire food industry supply chain in Taiwan with the global market. In 2018, the Taipei Food Show joint expo created an outstanding record of 1,628 exhibitors and 4,059 booths in 2018. (Food Taipei had 1,079 exhibitors and 2,197 booths). The FoodPhilippines exhibitors last year booked initial sales commitments totaling over US$25 Million, not counting repeat orders. “This year, our participation at the Taipei Food Show, will feature a strategically curated selection of Philippine food manufacturers and exporters eyeing the 24 million Taiwanese market, and Taiwan as gateway to other advanced economies in East Asia targeted for a sustainable marketing reach and campaign,” said MECO Chairman and Resident Representative Angelito T. Banayo. Our FoodPhilippines lineup of exhibitors this year, will be composed of a mix of more established mainstream companies and high-innovation food manufacturing companies. Leading our line-up of more established exporters are companies such as Century Pacific Food, Inc., Destileria Limtuaco & Co.

Six other companies such as JND Manufacturing Industries, Inc., Leonie Agri Corporation, Mira’s Turmeric Products, Pasciolco Agri Ventures, Yearluck Food and Industrial Corporation and Yanyan International Philippines, Inc. will introduce their products to Taiwan, in order to target Taiwan’s lucrative niche market segments such as health, wellness and specialty herbal, natural, organic and general food products.
