Pacific exporters

A group of 28 companies from eight Pacific Islands Forum countries will be part of the PT&I NZ Pasifika Festival delegation – the biggest group of small businesses and entrepreneurs organised by PT&I to attend the festival to date. The festival is New Zealand’s largest Polynesian festival.

The delegates offer a wide range of distinctive Pacific Islands products from handicrafts and carvings to various processed food products.They are hoping to test demand and use techniques learnt from the PT&I Path 2 Market programme attended last year.

SIAL (Salon International de l’alimentation) is one of the world’s biggest trade fairs held every two years in Paris since 1964 specialising in the food processing industry.

The PT&I Pacific Islands booth is made possible by funding provided by the European Union under the Pacific Integration Technical Assistance Project (PITAP).

AFS is a consumer show that connects a large number of exhibitors with thousands of dedicated food lovers in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.

AFS comes close on the heels of Fine Food New Zealand 2016, in which PT&I featured merchandise from twelve Pacific Island companies.
