countries (Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, etc.) have been gathering this

Improved nutrition
Global leaders have recognized 17 most
important world’s issues to be resolve by 2030. They are called Sustainable
Development Goals, SDGs. Thus, food security and improved nutrition has been
among most vital for humanity. For the first time in a
world’s history, the adoption of SDGs served as a landmark decision, providing
for a shared global vision towards sustainable development for all.

There
are two SDGs connected to food: SDG-2, which envisages “achieving food
security, improved nutrition and promoting sustainable agriculture”; and
SDG-12, which is about “ensuring sustainable consumption and productive
patterns”. The forum’s participants delivered on both SDGs.
Masters
of Latvijas Maiznieks, a famous
Latvian bread producer’s company, are baking tasty bread using highest quality
flour and generously adding olives, pumpkin and sesame seeds, other seasonings,
tomatoes, carrots and other “aromas”, which have caught the fancy tastes of any
consumer (see photo-1). Each loaf of bread, as a manager said is baked “in the
warm furnace with the warm-heartedness and master’s love”. See: www.maiznieks.lv/siltas.
Then, the first Ukrainian producer of noodles with the health-improvement effect and the plant additives is (MAK-VAR Foods). Among such additives are used ingredients of degreased seeds of pumpkin, flax, milk thistle, some other vegetables and grain’s embryo; these products are patented. See: www.mak-var.com.ua.
Newcomers
Another newcomer that attracted our attention has been a Spanish company producing olive oil “Palacio-de los-Olivos” (see photo). Two company managers said that olive harvesting was taking place yearly in November, when olives were at their optimal ripeness. Cold grounding is performed through mechanical procedures and after strict production control the company has a highest quality extra virgin olive oil. The company’s products have been awarded internationally (Quality seal SIQEV) for high level of excellence. See: www.olivapalacios.es.
Riga-Food exhibition this year is turning into a forum for international food sector business; it is a good opportunity to make contacts among representatives from various countries, exchange information and expand business opportunities.
