This year we presented 8 Brazilian exhibitors at Iran food + hospitality. They sell rice, coffee, beans, meat and sugar to their Iranian customers.
As 80% of the visitors at the show were business visitors interested in trade, this event has met our expectations.

We sell mainly frozen boneless beef and frozen whole chicken to our Iranian clients. Here at Iran food + hospitality, we meet food processors, retail market owners like chain markets and distributors.
Our target was to have plenty of B2B meetings, and we have met our expectation
It was the massive influx of well over 40,000 visitors and the thousands and thousands of serious B2B meetings that made this edition so successful for the 616 exhibitors from 17 countries exhibiting in 18 halls, up from 311 exhibitors last year.
The strong growth reflects positive IMF and World Bank assessments, a recovery in consumption and a strong expansion in imports and exports – see Economic outlook Iran by GTAI of 13 May 2022.
The halls were literally stormed, full of exhibitors and trade visitors engaged in business talks.
