Fi & Hi Russia to debut in 2015

UBM Live, the organisers of Fi Europe, have partnered with RESTEC to launch Food ingredients Russia, scheduled from 27-29 April 2015, at the All-Russian Exhibition Centre (VVC) in Moscow.

Russia currently imports 98.3% of its food ingredients for food production, according to a report by the RBC. The Russian food ingredients market is worth about €2.47 billion, with consumer interests shifting towards higher quality, natural and environmentally friendly foods.

The scale of food processing and formulation solutions in Russia is not quite at the level of its Western rivals in terms of the production and processing of ingredients, leaving large gaps in the market for food ingredients suppliers to develop within this billion euro industry.

Fi Russia, co-located with Health ingredients Russia and CPhI Russia, will provide a unique opportunity for the industry to further expand in this fast-developing market by providing three leading specialised ingredient events in one location.

RESTEC provides local market insight, together with the global market-leading organiser, UBM, brand owner of the Fi Global portfolio. This holds a 310,000 member database of local and international buyers, providing each exhibitor with invaluable marketing power to target ideal buyers.
