Between 29 June and 1 July, Turkish Food Exporters participated in the Summer Fancy Food Show held at the Javits Center in New York with a stand. Coordinated by GAİB Cereals Association, managers of our member associations within the sector board participated in the fair under the Turkish Food Exporters brand; Turkish exporting companies with stands were visited and support was provided. Also within the scope of the fair, the Baklava Tasting Event organised as part of the US Confectionery Turquality Project run by GAİB, İHBİR, AKİB, OAİB and EİB, and tasting events featuring special menus prepared from our main export products attracted great interest.
