Led by ICOC, Turkey’s ever-biggest exposure with 256 companies flashed in Paris.
The mother of worldwide Sials, Paris SIAL was held from 21 to 25 October at the Paredes Expositions de Paris-Nord Villepinte convention center. The organizers say that attendance rose by 10.2% compared to 2010, confirming SIAL’s role as a catalyst for global trade with 150,192 professional visitors (versus 136,381 in 2010), of whom 62.8% were international visitors from 200 countries. One of the most flashing positive things this year was Turkey’s case at the fair. Led by Istanbul Chamber of Commerce, 256 Turkish food exporters made efficient exposure at this important gathering of the world food sector. The fair ground hosted around 5900 exhibitors.
The statistics clearly affirmed SlAL’s positioning as global leader in the erosscutting agro-food markets. The quasi-tangible effervescence and enthusiasm in the aisles showed that language was no barrier in generating solid business leads. Through the impetus of XTC World Innovation, TNS Sofres and the 29 SIAL d’Or partners, the Innovations corner undeniably Consolidated SlAL’s expertise as a laboratory and observatory of supply and demand in food innovation.
For five whole days, SIAL made Paris the capital of the food planet where all the agro-food channels were food connected. In the current gloomy economic climate, the exhibition’s strategic dimension -demonstrated by the 200 events and conferences at the heart of today’s economic and political preoccupations -undoubtedly left its mark. Guillaume Garot, French Deputy Minister of Agro-food noteworthy for his daily involvement, together with numerous ministers and political and scientifîc personalities, opened the debate on key issues relating to the future of the food industry in France: food challenge, anti-waste program announcement. Made in France, nutrition, and more; and all these themes were programmed by SIAL TV. The 2012 show, fully attuned to the mainstream market challenges, highlighted the dynamism of the agro-food industry on a global scale. A high-performing business arena, the flow of international visitors at SIAL had a global offering at their fingertips. “Our aim was to strengthen the proximity between the sector players present It’s now ‘mission accomplished’. SIAL played a pivotal role with a view to the challenges of today and the issues of tomorrovv”, remarked Valerie Lobry, Managing Director of Comexposium’s Agriculture and Food Industry Division.

FOOD TURKEY’S SURVEY
Food Turkey, the young magazine of the Turkish food industry attended the fair with a professional team and distributed 3 thousand copies during 5-day exhibition. While the distributing people were busy in every hail, the editors were taking photos and talking with offıcials of Turkish exhibiting companies. Around 70 people were interviewed and over 90% were satisfied. The most eye-catching critic was about the bad coincidence of the fair with the religious festival of the Islamic world.
That cut the visitor flood considerably and made the worst affect on the fair. Some of the commentators reasoned the crisis and a few mentioned minor critics but majority admitted the great functionality of the fair as number one in the world.
