Spices Board offer for Tashkent Expo

Board planning promotion of spices, spice products in the region

Kochi: Spices Board has invited the attention of spice exporters to the opportunity for product promotion in the CIS region.

The Indo-CIS Chamber of Commerce & Industry, New Delhi, with the support of the Embassy of India, Tashkent, Uzbekistan, is organising the third Indian Trade Exhibition in Tashkent from October 6 to 8.

Spices Board sources said here that attractive packages have been worked out for the benefit of exporters.

The organisers are providing stalls at low rates. The stall rent includes cost of air tickets, accommodation and ground transfers in Uzbekistan.

It works out to around Rs. 1.25 lakh. The Spices Board is putting up a stall in eighteen square metre space.

The fair would focus on commodities, agricultural machinery besides a whole lot of industrial products from India. Participation is mainly for Indian companies and their overseas agents.

Spices Board sources here pointed out that CIS was a prominent market for food ingredients on account of the strong presence of food suppliers in Tashkent who in turn cater to the demand of the countries in the region especially of the erstwhile Soviet Union.

As far as spices are concerned, the country by itself is a major buyer. Though the volumes have come down post disintegration of USSR, the potential to generate more demand still persists in the region, says a Board publication.

Spices Board is planning to do a major promotion for spices and spice products. This is for the first time that the Board is doing a promotion in this region.

Many exporters are also likely to participate in this show so that they can gain introduction to a cross section of the trade.

The focus of the Spices Board's promotion will be spice extracts including spice oils and oleoresins besides black pepper and curry powder.

Exporters desirous of participating through the Board may contact 0484-2333606.
