Greendotdot.com is currently running 20 health food stores in Hong Kong. At Food Expo this year, we are promoting a wide range of food products to local consumers and the response has been very positive. Our showcase’s major highlight is the tasty Inner Mongolian mutton we introduced to Hong Kong early this year and it is Halal certified. In tandem with ‘Delights Across Mainland China’, one of the themes of the Expo, a whole freshly-roasted lamb from the natural grassland of Inner Mongolia was offered to consumers on each of the first three days of exhibition. The reception has been exceptional as consumers lined up in a long queue to snap up the tasty mutton. Lamb chops and skewers also generated positive sales. We’ve introduced some new products such as mixed nuts milk and almond highland barley biscuit, which also received good feedback. The traffic of visitors has been strong. Sales results are better than last year.

Chaaya is making a debut at Food Expo this year to promote our brand and tasty food products to Hong Kong consumers. Our company has established strong presence in the markets of USA, Canada and Australia. We would like to raise our profile in Hong Kong and this Expo is the right place to gain exposure. Consumers are forthcoming and top-selling items include sauerkraut fish fillets, rattan pepper fish fillets and frozen fish cake. Steamed scallops with garlic & vermicelli are also sought after by consumers. We’ve sold about 30 large boxes of products everyday here. Five local restaurants and two large supermarket chains have also approached us for cooperation. This opens up new business opportunities and we are happy with the results.

Food Expo is an excellent place to raise our company profile and promote our Chinese baijiu Zhen Jiu, wines and spirits to customers. Our showcase at Gourmet Zone has generated a lot of interest as many consumers came to taste and make purchases. We offer Zhen Jiu of different years from five years to eight years, 15 years and 30 years for buyers to choose from. The offerings have been well received by consumers. A great variety of red wine, white wine, sake and fruit wines from different countries such as France, Italy, Germany and Japan available at our booth have also reaped brisk sales. Overall sales amount is about 20% better than last year. We’ve also got in touch with several participating exhibitors at Gourmet Zone to explore collaboration such as using Zhen Jiu to make baijiu-infused chocolate and pairing our sake with Japanese snacks. We will continue to exhibit at the Expo to expand our business.

Grass Lands is participating in Food Expo for the first time to promote our tasty pork jerky and our brand Kuaiche. We've shipped a whole container of crispy jerky and chewy jerky in different flavours from Taiwan for our exhibition at the Expo. But the sales response has been exceptional and far exceeded our expectation. A large number of consumers from Hong Kong and Mainland China have come to our booth to purchase our jerky items. At this rate of sales, all of our jerky products will be sold out by the fourth day of exhibition. We are very satisfied with the results. This excellent show draws many visitors and enables us to have direct exchanges with consumers to promote our brand and products. We will showcase at the Expo again to expand our presence in the Hong Kong market.

This is our first-time exhibition at Food Expo to promote 100% natural haskap juice we import from Poland. Rich in anthocyanidin and antioxidants, haskap is good for health. Gourmet Zone at the Expo serves as a perfect place to meet discerning and high-budget consumers looking for health food and quality items. The feedback has been very strong as many consumers came forth to purchase our haskap juice. We have had to replenish stocks repeatedly to cope with the strong buying appetite. We’ve established contact with several importers from Hong Kong, Mainland China and Thailand who indicated interest in our haskap juice. Some local restaurants also approached us to explore cooperation. The Expo offers an excellent platform to promote our brand as well as B2C and B2B expansion. We are very happy with the results.
