Dear valued relation,
The Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI) invites you for a new Market Intelligence webinar.
This webinar focuses on exporting pulses to Europe.
Growing consumer awareness about plant-based foods’ health and environmental benefits is increasing the demand for pulses. Promising food ingredients for the plant-based market segment include lentils, mung beans, and pigeon peas. Mung beans and pigeon peas are also popular ingredients in ethnic cuisine. The current trends create interesting opportunities for suppliers from developing countries that want to enter the European market.
Join this webinar to discover which trends and European countries are interesting for exporters of pulses. We will also look at how to become a supplier to European buyers.
Our experts will discuss:
- Which countries offer opportunities for pulses such as lentils, mung beans, and pigeon peas?
- Which trends affect the demand for pulses in Europe?
- How can you prepare your company for the European market?
- What are your possible market entry options?
This webinar is for entrepreneurs and business support organisations active in the grains, pulses and oilseeds sector.
