A record number of 32 Sri Lankan exporters have confirmed participation at the "Anuga 2007" International Trade Fair to be held in Cologne, Germany from 13-17th October, a press release from Sri Lanka Embassy in Berlin said.

'Anuga' is a biennial event, recognised as the most important food and beverage international exhibition in the world, which attracts over 7000 exhibitors from more than 150 countries. Sri Lanka has been participating at this fair continuously since the early 1970's.

The Sri Lanka Export Development Board in collaboration with the Sri Lanka Embassy in Berlin is organising the participation of export companies under the national pavilion at Anuga 2007 to display fine food and beverages from Sri Lanka for the international market.

Sri Lanka's participation this year at Anuga 2007 includes the country's leading tea exporters who will have independent product displays to promote their brand names in the international market.

For the first time, Sri Lanka will organise two workshops for the business visitors during Anuga 2007 for the promotion of food values and characteristics of 'Ceylon Cinnamon' and 'Ceylon Tea'. Speakers from Germany and Sri Lanka will attend the workshop to be held at the Cologne Congress Center during 'Anuga 2007'.
