The biggest food expo event of the year opens with a bang!
In two venues, the World Food Expo 2014 is like a blockbuster movie participated and enjoyed by thousands of Filipino and even foreign visitors. No wonder because the main attraction is — all about food!
WOFEX at SMX Convention Center
Dubbed as the WOFEX Marketplace, the SMX Convention Center served as a real busy market place for both expo visitors and exhibitors, which is a perfect opportunity to introduce and promote your products. Here I found some new brands, for example on beverages industry, making their first impression to the Philippine market. One example is the Mocafe, which is a leading house coffee brand from USA. Their booth is set like a convenience store, which perfectly fits to market their healthy organic juice quenchers along with their coffee goodies.
For tea lovers who want to try something new, one example is Dilmah Single Origin Tea, which offers different funky flavoured black teas.
