<strong>Final</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
STATEMENTS:<br />
Sonnentor Kräuterhandels GmbH<br />
from Austria was represented at<br />
<strong>BioFach</strong> <strong>Japan</strong> 2012. Sonia Aigner,<br />
Director Marketing and New Media,<br />
and Johann Haas, Sales Director, are<br />
extremely satisfied: “We felt we had even<br />
more visitors on our stand at this year’s<br />
<strong>BioFach</strong> <strong>Japan</strong> than in the past years.<br />
Both retailers and online shops are<br />
important for us in <strong>Japan</strong>. Since<br />
Fukushima, the <strong>Japan</strong>ese rely even<br />
more on perfect quality and the organic<br />
label now stands for the safe alternative<br />
when it comes to food. We also met new<br />
and existing distributors at <strong>BioFach</strong><br />
<strong>Japan</strong> and were able to discuss important aspects and strengthen our position at the<br />
exhibition and over dinner in the evenings. The <strong>Japan</strong>ese are a very grateful although critical<br />
group of buyers. We with our long tradition of almost 25 years and our high quality standards<br />
must convince them with an attractive presence. Being there personally is therefore a matter<br />
of course, as our customers simply expect it. This time the <strong>Japan</strong>ese showed their great<br />
appreciation of our loyalty to the country in the last very difficult year.”<br />
Rodrigues Hywel, Export Sales Manager at Arab Beverages<br />
Est, Dubai, also sums up the event enthusiastically: “We have<br />
exhibited at <strong>BioFach</strong> <strong>Japan</strong> for the first time and presented organic<br />
juices. As we come from Dubai, we’re particularly dependent on<br />
international business relationships. <strong>BioFach</strong> <strong>Japan</strong> is perfect for<br />
setting up and expanding these relationships. In any case, the<br />
<strong>Japan</strong>ese market offers us tremendous potential, simply because<br />
the <strong>Japan</strong>ese are very health conscious and appreciate organic<br />
products. Our plan for <strong>BioFach</strong> <strong>Japan</strong> 2013 is to show even more<br />
presence at the exhibition!”<br />
Massimo de Gregorio, winegrower<br />
and Managing Director of Marchesi de<br />
Gregorio, Sicily/Italy: “Our presence at<br />
<strong>BioFach</strong> <strong>Japan</strong> 2012 could not have<br />
been more successful. The people here<br />
are very interested in organic wine. Good<br />
for us! Why did we exhibit? We wanted<br />
to be there at the event to strengthen the<br />
personal relationships with our importers.<br />
I think this is the most important aspect<br />
for companies wanting to export to<br />
<strong>Japan</strong>. We’ll definitely be there again if there’s an Italian pavilion in 2013.”<br />
