EXCELLENT INDUSTRY FEEDBACK

This is our first time here in Asia. NOPA is a great place for us to expand our business and find business partners in Asia. We have met many people here who have expressed their interest in our products. We are planning to come back next year.

Tamas KalmanManaging DirectorŐSIMAGNESIUMHungary

I think NOPA is the best organic fair in Asia, with buyers from all over the world including distributors and retailers. We have met several retailers from Hong Kong and Singapore. The show not only brought us sales leads but also gave us inspirations for our products and provided us the latest market trends.

This is our 4th time to attend NOPA in Hong Kong. We have been growing together with NOPA since 2014. We have potential clients from Hong Kong, and also from different parts of Asia. (Malaysia, Taiwan and Philippines). NOPA 2017 is especially good for us; the quality of the potential clients is outstanding. We will definitely attend again in 2018.Stephen WongDirectorAwesome FoodsHong Kong

I’ve sourced many interesting products, like Manuka honey, beetroot instant powder. I also had meetings with many different suppliers from Turkey, Korea, Australia, and we are discussing possible cooperation in the future. There are many new products and I can’t wait to visit NOPA again next year.
