After generating more than B/. 1,100 million in transactions and carrying out more than 19,600 business rounds in the last 11 years, the LAC FLAVORS commercial showcase will move its twelfth edition to Panama, the Minister of Commerce and Industries (MICI), Ramón Martínez, reported Monday, after a meeting with representatives of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
The event, which is being held for the first time in the country, promotes the expansion and strengthening of the exchange of goods in the region in the food and beverage sector, through a series of meetings and training for the development of new business opportunities between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), several of them geared towards packaging and export certifications.
“The IDB, within the strategic alliance it maintains with Panama, is an ambassador of good news by considering us the next host of this important event, which has been held in countries such as Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Chile, Peru, Paraguay, the Dominican Republic, and Argentina," he said.
Hundreds of agrifood companies from Latin America and the Caribbean meet annually with buyers from around the world at LAC FLAVORS, organized by the IDB through the ConnectAmericas platform.
