A team from Niue Vanilla travelled to Sydney, Australia, to represent Niue at PTI Australia’s Pacific Showcase, which ran from 11–14 September 2017. Fine Food Australia is Australasia’s largest trade-only food event, with over 5,000 buyers and distributors visiting the show each day.
Stanley Kalauni, Managing Director of Niue Vanilla, said it was a valuable trade show and they were delighted with the sales leads the trade show generated.
“The feedback from potential buyers was fantastic. As a small enterprise, being part of PTI Australia’s Pacific Showcase enabled us to have a larger impact at the show, raising the awareness of Niue and Niue Vanilla to the Australian market. Through PTI Australia’s Pacific Showcase, we have connected with potential buyers and generated new sales leads, which was our goal.”
Jeremy Grennell, General Manager – Exports, PTI Australia, said that PTI Australia’s Pacific Showcase was an overwhelming success.
“PTI Australia’s Pacific Showcase provided an opportunity for enterprises from across the Pacific Islands to make the international audience aware of their products and to get direct feedback from buyers on those products. The response our Pacific Island enterprises have had from the trade show has been overwhelmingly positive. Distributors and buyers from across Australia, Asia and North America visited our enterprises in the Pacific Showcase and they were impressed by both the quality and range of products from the Pacific Islands,” Mr Grennell said.
