Flagship foods from five of Taiwan's diplomatic allies that have signed free trade agreements (FTAs) with the country will be on display at this year's Taipei International Food Show slated to kick off June 23, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) said Friday. Twenty companies from Panama, Guatemala, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras will display their most representative food products in 14 booths at the show, which will take place at the Taipei World Trade Center Nankang Exhibition Hall until June 26, TAITRA officials said. The products expected to be exhibited at the Panama Booth will include coffee, dried papaya, hot chili sauces and noni products, to be offered by six Panamanian companies. Two Guatemalan companies will display their products at the Guatemala Booth, including dried vegetables and fruit, nuts, roselle and lemongrass, while two Nicaraguan companies will show products such as honey, coffee, peanuts and frozen beef. Two other Nicaraguan companies will use the fair to seek Taiwanese suppliers of food processing and packing machines, TAITRA officials said. On display at the El Salvador Booth will be products from six companies, including organic lemon salt, organic lemon tea, roselle tea, coffee, noni juice, cashew nuts, organic soap, massage oils and shrimp powder. Four Honduran companies will display products including palm oil, frozen shrimps, frozen lobsters, hot chili sauces, snack foods and jams, TAITRA officials said. Exhibitors from the five countries are also expected to meet Taiwanese food importers for discussions on further cooperation during the fair, which is an important platform for domestic food producers and importers seeking to make contacts around the world.
