Fine Food Australia will showcase a range of homegrown food and beverage manufacturers, with 18 NSW-based companies who manufacture products locally receiving support to attend.

Investment NSW CEO Katie Knight said the trade show was an opportunity for NSW businesses to raise awareness of their brands, build connections and help expand into new markets.

Fine Food Australia attracts over 26,000 trade visitors from more than 50 countries each year.

“From sustainable tea and native tonics to edible insects and cough serum from Bowral bees, we are supporting some of the country’s best food and beverage manufactures to showcase to the world the exceptional products manufactured right here in NSW.

“With our highly efficient manufacturing supply chains, world-class transportation and logistics, and export support programs on offer, it’s no surprise we have some of the country’s leading food and beverage producers manufacturing in our great state,” said Knight.

The trade show will include a ‘Flavours of NSW’ zone where some of the state’s emerging and premium food and beverage manufacturers can showcase products to international and domestic buyers, distributors and investors.

The Kind Coffee co director Jules Gardner said she was looking forward to highlighting the business’s locally produced premium coffee products in the zone.

“We hope by taking part in this event we will be able to spread the word about our fantastic products and expand our reach to even more coffee-lovers,” Gardner said.
