Food should be tasty, fresh, varied and healthy – but it should also be safe and reasonably priced. The consumer expectations and demands surrounding food are considerable. The requirements regarding the food industry are also correspondingly high. This is an area in which Saxony-Anhalt offers businesses excellent ingredients for their success. Sparkling wine from Rotkäppchen, chocolate from Halloren and baked goods from Wikana are on sale all over the world and demonstrate how it is possible to survive against the global competition. From small factories to traditional family-owned companies to major industrial producers – in Saxony-Anhalt, the food industry is the sector that has the highest levels of turnover and employment. The soil in the federal state is among the most fertile in Europe. High yields and short distances are the result – which provide processing companies with an optimum environment. Viticulture has a long tradition in the federal state – in the region surrounding the Saale and Unstrut rivers, grapes have been pressed for centuries. With their highly-regarded courses of study, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Anhalt University of Applied Sciences provide for well-educated specialists and outstanding research results. The Agricultural Marketing Association of Saxony-Anhalt supports companies with a wide range of offerings: it initiates collaborations, organises training courses, accompanies the development of regional brands, and supports marketing activities and trade fair appearances. This ensures that the food from Saxony-Anhalt will continue to taste good.
