Contents Oh, der Cologne!
It hardly seems like two years since FOODNEWS was preparing its 2015 preview to this, the largest food show in the world.
Those who have been to Anugas previous will know what to expect. Those who have not are in for a shock. Last year, Anuga attracted 7,189 exhibitors from 108 countries, filling the entire available stand space of 284,000 sq.m. The organisers welcomed 158,603 trade visitors from 192 countries (five more than in 2013). The sheer size of Anuga never fails to impress. It can easily take half an hour to walk from one end of the exhibition to the other: more, if it’s exceptionally busy (it usually is) and/or you bump into someone you know en route (you usually do).
However, the organisation and the signing in the halls is first rate. The relatively new Boulevard, the main artery that runs from Hall 8 past all the other halls, makes getting between points so much easier than it was a decade ago. If you want to dodge through halls and see what there is on offer all over the show, the signs make it easy to navigate.
The distances that a visitor (as opposed to a stand-bound exhibitor) can cover in a day would surprise you. Some people take little mini-scooters to punt between stands.
Who may attendAnuga is open to decision-makers (management, purchasing/procurement, store management, sales and marketing) from the following sectors of the food and drink industry: food retail and wholesale trade, drinks retail and wholesale trade, trade co-operatives, drugstores and health food stores, food and drink trade representatives, food and drink importing and exporting, food skilled trades, food and drink manufacturing industry and suppliers to the food and drink industry.
The show is also open to those involved in the procurement and installation of technical facilities and equipment, the planning of large-scale catering establishments as well as the specialist trade for technology for large scale catering establishments.
Visitors may be asked for proof of their trade status. Children are allowed in as part of study groups and the like, but the staff (sensibly) seem to turn a blind eye to well-behaved children attending with their parents, especially on Sunday, which is the ‘Mom & Pop’ day, when many small businesses, retailers and caterers attend.
10 shows under one bannerAnuga is sub-divided into 10 distinct categories, as follows:

Anuga Fine Food, Halls 1, 2.1, 3.1, 10.2, 11, Passage 4/5The biggest of the Anuga trade fairs, which attracted over 100,000 visitors in 2015, and comprises delicatessen, gourmet and basic food. Numerous international pavilions. Newcomers among the country pavilions this year include the Fiji Islands, Georgia, Qatar, Moldova, Saudi Arabia and the Ukraine.
Anuga Frozen Food, Halls 4.1, 4.2From fish and meat, through to fruit and vegetables, from ready-made meals through to bulk packs for buyers from the communal catering and gastronomy sectors.
Anuga Meat, Halls 5.2, 6.9With around 850 exhibitors from some 50 countries, Anuga Meat is not only one of the biggest trade fairs at Anuga, but also the most comprehensive information and order platform for meat, sausages, game and poultry worldwide. There are large joint participations from Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, France, Italy, Canada, Austria, Spain, South Africa, Turkey and the USA.
Anuga Chilled & Fresh Food, Hall 5.1Fresh convenience products, fresh delicatessen, fish, fruit and vegetables will be presented in Hall 5.1. Chilled convenience products and delicatessen are among the trendsetters in the supermarket. Anuga Dairy, Hall 10.1
Around 380 exhibitors, including pavilions from Belgium, France, Greece, the UK, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Spain and Cyprus. For the first time, groups from Argentina, Australia and Thailand will be exhibiting.
Anuga Bread & Bakery, Halls 2.2, 3.2Bread, bakery products, sandwich spreads and hot beverages: These products are united in one trade fair and offer the buyers from the retail and food service trades lots of inspiration for their business.
Anuga Hot Beverages, Hall 7Hot beverages have their own section for the first time this year.
Anuga Drinks, Halls 7, 8Beverages for the retail and gastronomy trades, from, about 450 exhibitors. The fruit juice, water and soft drinks segment is strongly represented again. Energy drinks remain an important theme.
Anuga Organic, hall 5.1A wide range of organic products from Germany and abroad with a clear focus on export. The current trends include regional products, Fairtrade goods and vegan food. The range of exhibits is enhanced by the special Anuga Organic Market exhibition (see separate article). The accompanying organic competence centre will additionally offer daily lectures, discussions and information events.
Getting thereKöln is easily accessible by road and rail for those who do not have to travel too far, and Köln/Bonn airport is good for international connections, though Frankfurt is a bigger international terminal, with connections worldwide, and Germany’s ICE fast trains will take you from Frankfurt to Köln in about an hour and a half. By road, add an hour.
You can expect traffic jams around the Messe, especially in the morning before the show opens. But again, the traffic does flow and the signing to the various car parks is impeccable. That said, public transport (even if you are staying in some way outside Köln) is best. All admission tickets and trade passes entitle the bearer to free travel on buses, underground trains, the S-Bahn overground trains and regional trains within the extended VRS network. The station that serves the exhibition halls is Köln-Deutz.
AccommodationIf you haven’t booked yet, most rooms in Köln itself will have been taken. That said, there is always a spare room somewhere, if you have enough money, and the Anuga website has an online booking system. It also organises Homestay accommodation in private rooms and furnished apartments. Be aware that there is now a 5% Cultural Tax levied on hotel rooms in the city. However, business travellers who fill out and present the official forms and employer documentation at the hotel are exempt from payment. Given the cost of hotel accommodation, this could save you EUR50-100 (USD60-120) per person.
The further you go out from the city, the easier and cheaper accommodation can be obtained, and with the free public transport, which extends further out of Köln than you would think, it actually makes sense to stay out of town, especially as journey times from hotel to show are also shorter than you might think.

After the show closesKöln’s Altstadt (Old Town) is justly famous, and is about a 20-30 minute walk across the Hohenzollern Bridge. The district is unashamedly geared towards tourists and visitors rather than locals, but there is nothing wrong with that. It holds a huge quantity of bars and some local small breweries.
Kölsch is the town’s own brew: this is served in small (20cl) glasses, which can
be downed in one enthusiastic swallow, so those intent on a long evening tend to order three or four per head, at once, because it saves time.

NM: How much has the attendance at Anuga (visitor numbers) grown in them last 10 years?
DE: We have continually increased the number of visitors up to 160,000 over the past years, which is a very good result. Especially since Anuga is exclusively open to trade visitors. For example, buyers from the retail trade, the out-of-home market or the new channels, such as online trading for instance. Visitors from the industry are also allowed to attend if they hold executive positions. At Anuga we specifically target a first-class and qualified trade audience, which our exhibitors profit from. Incidentally, 69% of our Anuga visitors come from abroad, from 192 countries.
NM: What is the section/product group that has the highest visitor numbers?
DE: Anuga Fine Food is our largest Anuga trade show with about 3,900 exhibitors. So, naturally it attracts the most visitors.
NM: Can you identify trends that have started, or first been seen, at Anuga?DE: Anuga was and remains to be the platform for new products and is often
the starting point for a true success story. For example, the first exotic fruits such as guavas and kiwis were presented to the retail trade at Anuga in the 1970s. In the 1990s the first probiotic yoghurts and yoghurt drinks were presented at Anuga. A host of convenience products were launched onto the market at the beginning of the 2000s. Here, Tillman’s Toastie springs to mind, a schnitzel for toasters that was a mega hit. Over the course of the years, we have highlighted the overriding trends at Anuga with our trend themes: For instance with the ‘halal‘, ‘organic’, ‘fairtrade’, ‘private labels’ and finally ‘vegetarian’ and ‘vegan’ themes. The coming Anuga will prove how strong these trends are.
NM: Is it true that Anuga is the largest trade show hosted by Cologne? If not, there where is it placed?
DE: With regards to the number of exhibitors and the space, Anuga is our largest trade fair and incidentally one of the largest fairs in the world. In terms of the number of visitors, gamescom, the leading European trade fair for digital gaming culture, is our largest trade fair. Over 350,000 enthusiastic gamers were
Anuga is the most important venue in the world for new product launches. IEG Vu Foodnews principal analyst Neil Murray quizzes Dietmar Eiden, vice-president of trade fair management at Koelnmesse GmbH.
The big trendsetter

registered this year. However, gamescom is a public fair. Anuga 2017 is completely fully-booked with its over 7,200 exhibitors. With these figures, Anuga is unparalleled in the food industry.
NM: From your visitor feedback, what do you think is the single biggest reason to attend Anuga as a visitor? Is it to see new products, to make new contacts and seek new business, or to establish meetings with existing customers or buyers?
DE: For buyers from the trade and the out-of-home market, there is no better inspiration than Anuga with its diversity and internationality. Over 7,200 exhibitors from 100 countries present new products, new concepts and new ideas. The trade visitors have access to the global market in a more concentrated manner here more than anywhere else. We call it one-stop shopping. Anuga is a must-attend event for visitors from the food industry.
NM: Anuga FoodTec has been a successful spin-off from the original Anuga, and Anuga as a trademark is expanding outside Germany. What countries are
fertile ground in which to grow this new ‘international’ Anuga brand?
DE: We are focusing on the Asiatic region. For example, we have established trade fairs in Thailand, China, India and Japan. South America is also an important target market for us. We have been active in Brazil since 2014 with ANUTEC Brazil and will carry out Anufood Brazil for the first time in March 2018. We also organise a food trade fair in Colombia. Furthermore, ProFoodTech is taking place for the first time this year in Chicago.
The MENA region is also very important for us. For example, in a few weeks’ time the 11th yummex – a trade fair for sweets & snacks – is taking place in Dubai. We expand our international network with circumspection and always taking our customers and partners into account.
NM: If people have complaints about Anuga, what is the most common one?
DE: Anuga 2017 was already well-booked at a very early stage. As a result, we had many enquiries from exhibitors, who wanted to take part, whom we were unfortunately
not able to offer stand area to. We went through the waiting lists as thoroughly as possible, but were nowhere near able to answer all enquiries positively. This year’s Anuga is fully-booked down to the last square centimetre. It is also very difficult to book hotel rooms for the trade fair just before it starts. We receive many enquiries here too. Hence this is our tip: We also arrange hotel rooms in all price categories via our website. We are pleased to try and help you find something appropriate.
NM: Are you concerned by competition from other European food trade shows?
DE: We are focused on our trade fairs and our concepts. Through continual further developments and adaptions we are in a position to always offer our customers at home and abroad the best trade fairs. This is why we are the number one address for international food trade fairs.
NM: How do you think Anuga can be further improved?
DE: This is a continual process. We identify new themes that we integrate into our
Unipektin Image-Ins 2017_A5_Drinktec_E1.indd 1 30.05.17 16:01
12 www.ieg-vu.com/ Anuga 2017 | IEG Vu
trade fairs. For example, we are organising the E-Grocery Congress for the first time this year at Anuga and are thus picking up on one of the most important trends of the future. Beyond this, we have also adapted our trade fair concept for Anuga 2017 by integrating ‘Anuga Hot Beverages’ with it. Hot beverages were up until now always presented at Anuga with the bakery products. The division into two sections (Anuga Hot Beverages and Anuga Bread & Bakery) has met with a very good response from exhibitors. We have also re-defined the ‘cuisine’ theme. The ‘Anuga Culinary Concepts’ trade show is presenting cooking skills, technology, equipment and gastronomy concepts and thus forms the central meeting point for the food service industry at Anuga. We also strive for continual development regarding the organisational aspects. For instance, through our comprehensive exhibitor database, which is a fantastic tool for planning a visit to Anuga.
NM: Do you have any idea of the amount of business, in euro terms, that is written at Anuga?
DE:That is impossible to say. We know that numerous business transactions are completed at Anuga. But the volume of the business is rarely disclosed. Apart from that, the follow-up business after the fair also plays a significant role. Against this background, we don’t think it is right to even estimate the volume of business transacted.
Of course, we regularly ask our exhibitors about their trade fair success, also in
comparison to other food trade fairs. The results of the surveys are quite clear: There is no other better business platform than Anuga!
NM: How much does Anuga contribute to the annual economy of Koln?
DE: Koelnmesse is overall an important factor for the industry in Cologne. For example, the Cologne trade fair business generated turnovers to the value of EUR2.28 billion (USD2.73 bln) in 2013, indeed Cologne accounted for EUR1.24 billion. We don’t gather these figures on an annual basis, nor separately for individual trade fair events.
NM: As one of the organisers, what is the most unusual request you have ever received from an exhibitor?
DE: A few years ago, the present Spanish royal couple were guests at Anuga, a huge honour. One of our exhibitors heard this through the grapevine and was very disappointed that our royal guests couldn’t come to him to eat. He couldn’t understand that the strict Spanish court ceremony does not allow this. Sometimes, we are not able to help, even if we want to.
NM: What do you do, year by year, to improve the experience for visitors?
DE: Our service philosophy is very important to us. Here, we place our bets on the opportunities that digitalisation bring with it. I have already mentioned our exhibitor database. Beyond this there is
also a Matchmaking tool, which offers support in arranging appointments with the exhibitors. Last, but not least the human factor is important to us. We rely on friendliness and helpfulness – in several languages – our entire team and all service centres, from the parking service through to the food service section. The visitor should be made to feel welcome and should feel comfortable.
For example, there is also an info desk of the Cologne Tourist Office on the fair grounds for all those people, who are looking for a restaurant for the evening for instance. A flyer prepared especially for Anuga visitors is also available at the trade fair, which lists recommendable restaurants, pubs and shops.
NM: And finally, what is your single personal favourite thing about Anuga?
DE: I look forward to the many people, who will come to Anuga from all over the world to let themselves be inspired here in Cologne by the 7,200-plus exhibitors, to do business and foster contacts.
Seeing the many people on the trade fair boulevard, busily going about their business, is a great reward for the entire Anuga team that has prepared the project over the course of two years. I am looking forward to the fact that Cologne will be the hub of the international food and beverage industry again this year for five days.

Anuga will show a concentrated spectrum of organic products in its sub-show, Anuga Organic. Here, the products represented and those which carry an approved organic certification that is a market standard.
Around 250 companies are expected to exhibit again. They are exhibiting both under the umbrella of organisations or associations and as individual exhibitors at Anuga Organic. The organic associations represented at Anuga include Consorzio il Biologico (Italy), Danish Agriculture (Denmark) and Naturland (Germany).
From Germany a growing number of individual exhibitors are participating this year such as Alb-Gold, Emils Bio-Manufaktur, Ecofinia, Elbler, frizle, foodloose, Followfood, Küchenbrüder, My Chipsbox, Proviant, purefood, Tropicai, Wechsler and Zabler.
There are a high number of exhibitors from Italy, i.e. such as Fratelli Damiano, Lauretana, Natura Nuova, Polobio, Probios and Sipa. The same applies for the Netherlands with DO-IT, Doens Food, De Smaakspecialist, Spack, Tradin Organic, Sanorice and Trouw. Natur’Inov from Belgium is participating and from France Compagnie Biodiversité.
Anuga exhibitors will obviously also display their organic products in the rest of the show trade shows. In 2013 there were 1,796 companies that presented organic products, and 2,030 in 2015. Further growth is expected this year.
Several companies are placing their focus on the trend theme vegan food, for instance Das Eis, joy.foods, PureRaw, Purya!, Tofutown, Topas and Veganz. The Bulgarian supplier Roo’Bar, which exhibited at ISM in Cologne is a further new exhibitor.
The partner country of Anuga, which is India this year, has been committed to organic cultivation as well as to the theme vegan diet for many generations. Accordingly, numerous products from the organic product range have been announced for Anuga, such as tea, spices and pulses.
The special Anuga Organic Market is also going to take place again in the scope of Anuga Organic. Here, theory becomes tangible practice when organic products that are ready to sell in supermarkets are presented in an attractive environment. The focus will be on fresh products this year: for example, milk and dairy products as well as meat products. Fruit and vegetables can also show their fresh potential here (convenience, pre-cut salads and fruit and similar items). The topic of service counters and counter design will also be addressed. The wine shelf will also be well-stocked with around 30 wines from organic production.
A very important component item of Anuga’s supporting programme is the Organic Competence Centre. It is not only a lecture forum by and for experts from the industry, but also a networking and discussion platform for all those who address the theme organic. One of the focuses this year is the implementation of pesticides and the opportunities of ecological cultivation. The raw material procurement as an important part of the food chain, building trust between the dealer and the customer, direct marketing from the organic farm and marketing strategies are further themes. The events of the Organic Competence Centre will take place on Monday, 9 October and Tuesday, 10 October.
If ‘conventional’ food and drink means non-organic, then Anuga 2017 will have a very strong focus on the unconventional.

Germany features prominently as an importer of a number of key edible nut categories.
In line with other European consuming countries, the country is becoming increasingly keen on nuts as a snack item, encouraged by the positive health messages that underpin many of the items.
With no apologies made for the nut types not covered, this analysis will focus on Germany’s imports of hazelnuts and walnuts.
The fact that Germany hosts the bi annual Anuga food trade fair, at which there is a substantial showing of nut products, could be seen as a further indication of the importance of the country both as a trade link in the edible nuts industry and as a key consumer.
HazelnutsOn the hazelnuts side, Germany has proved to be quite a consistent importer over the last three years and this trend is likely to continue over the coming years.
It is logical to assume that some of the hazelnuts purchased by the country are used not just for snack packs but also for cakes, biscuits and confectionery.
The data on hazelnuts comprises the HS codes 080221 and 080222: respectively, fresh or dried hazelnuts in-shell and fresh or dried hazelnuts shelled.
Germany’s imports of hazelnuts dipped slightly (-2.3%) last year to 63,927 tonnes from the 65,478 tonnes acquired in 2015 (Table 1). However, the 2016 volume remains comfortably ahead of the 2014 total.
It is no surprise to see that Turkey was its top supplier in each of the last three years as this origin dominates the world supply of hazelnuts, accounting for an estimated 70% or so of the total output.
The volumes purchased from Turkey in 2016 declined 15% to 35,603 tonnes while those from second leading source Italy gained 18.7% to 15,255 tonnes.
Germany is a keen edible nuts consumer, and hazelnuts and walnuts are among those items of particular appeal. By Julian Gale

Georgia and Azerbaijan also achieved higher sales into Germany last year and France recorded a recovery in its volumes following a disappointing 2015.
US shipments also rose in 2016, but the
total figure from the US remains relatively small. This is indicative of the fact that most of the US production is focused on selling into its domestic market and US hazelnut prices tend to be on the high side as the origin is not overly concerned about generating a more substantial quantity of exports.
Over the first seven months of 2017 Germany looks to be virtually in line with its usual pattern of buying, with the overall volumes acquired so far only 8% behind those of the same period last year (Table 2).
Shipments from Turkey, Italy, Azerbaijan and Georgia have each shown declines, but the US and Spain have recorded increases.
WalnutsGermany’s walnut imports have increased exponentially over the last three years, reaching 44,267 tonnes in 2016 (Table 3).
These figures combine the HS codes 080231 (fresh or dried walnuts, in-shell) and 080232 (fresh or dried walnuts, shelled).

An opportunity for the worldwide peanut industry to network and discuss issues impacting the peanut market, the International Peanut Forum is a key event for those in the peanut industry. The
only global meeting devoted entirely to peanuts, this biennial meeting brings together the world’s peanut industry, including all major producing countries, importers, brokers, dealers, shellers, manufacturers and service providers such as equipment suppliers and laboratories.
Starting with a Welcome Reception on the evening of 11th April, the conference sessions will run on the mornings of 12th & 13th April, allowing time for private business meetings in the afternoons.
The conference sessions will cover a range of topics relevant to the peanut industry, such as food safety, sustainability, allergy research, social media marketing, targeting new consumers, threaded together through the overall theme for 2018 of “Peanuts - the Protein for Tomorrow’s Champions”. A table top exhibition will be open throughout the event for delegates to view the latest products and innovations from supplier companies.

Most of the overall offtake is on the snacking side or as an ingredient in home-made breakfast cereals and salads.
The US is the country’s top supplier and shipments from this origin rose 39% last year to 28,894 tonnes. These figures are further evidence of the strong global sales being generated by the US in recent years, as regularly reported by IEG Vu.
Joe Alkewitz of German trader Palm Nuts & More observed that the major success story is the upturn in German
consumption of US shelled walnuts over the last five years, which has reached around 22,000 tonnes compared with 12,000 tonnes earlier. Moreover, 15 years ago Germany imported negligible volumes of walnuts, he recalled.
“On the in-shell it is also quite a surprising story, because in-shell was considered to be quite a dying item – old fashioned and traditional. Still, the import and consumption figures are increasing,” he noted.
France is next with sales of 4,935 tonnes
in 2016, up 17.5% from those of the previous year.
Chile ranks as the third largest supplier to Germany with 3,409 tonnes sold in 2016, 7.7% up from 2015.
Moldova is also an important source and this origin shipped 1,771 tonnes to Germany last year.
Australia is showing clear signs of gaining ground in the German market, shipping 1,253 tonnes in 2016, 57.2% ahead of its 2015 volumes.
“The quality of the Australian product is extraordinarily good,” Alkewitz remarked. “It tastes great and they have nice varieties. They (the Australians) can dry the nuts without a rush in March, April and May and then ship it when the product is at its best condition. The product arrives here in August or September, right before the season, and it is new crop.”
Between January and July 2017 Germany has maintained the pace on its walnut imports with the total a marginal 3.7% down from the first seven months of 2016 (Table 4).
So far this year, Chile and Moldova have edged ahead of France to take the second and third top slots respectively with France relegated to fourth place.
Moldovan walnuts sold into Germany and elsewhere in Europe are often for use as an ingredient in confectionery and bakery applications as these are a relatively cheap option compared with product from California or Chile.
Based on the pattern of the last three years and the continued positive perceptions of walnuts there is every reason to expect Germany to maintain a decent volume of imports over the coming years with further increases a distinct possibility.

through a major clean-up will not have any trouble getting ready for the 2016 harvest, so the feeling among industry insiders is still a positive one, Burnett noted.
Ultimately, while there have been some crop losses, it is impossible to quantify whether the 2016 harvest will be significantly down on 2015. “There are still three months to go before harvest and a few weeks left of what is considered ‘storm’ season, so it is too early to be making firm pronouncements on the 2016 crop,” Burnett said.
On November 9, Alex Whyte, sales manager for Europe and the Middle East, for Green & Gold Macadamias, explained that he was in the Mpumalanga area of South Africa, which is the main macadamia producing area in the country, and this had received no rain for many weeks.
“It’s 38 degrees (Celsius),
bone dry and the trees are just in the process of flowering, or have just finished flowering. In this heat, the flowers just get dehydrated and burnt off the trees,” Whyte said.
Moreover, the whole of South Africa was now in a drought and water crisis, he noted.
“This will certainly have an effect on the (2016) crop,” Whyte warned.
In December the trees ‘decide’ how much of a crop they can carry and based on this they will drop a proportion of the nuts early. If a lot of the nuts have not set then the trees will probably keep many of these and not drop so many.
“That might offset this dry weather as it stands, but the dry weather is certainly not a good thing and will definitely have an impact on the crop,” Whyte noted.
A lot of the orchards in South Africa are on dry land and not
irrigated. “Those orchards are going to be well down on production from normal,” Whyte stated.
Another potential slight offset to this is that new plantings are coming into production.
As a result, Whyte suggests that the net result could be a 2016 crop that is slightly down from that of 2015 or at a similar level. Any earlier expectations of a decent increase in output can now be ruled out though.
“Next year we would like to have hit 50,000 tonnes but with this dry weather I don’t think it’s going to go much over 47,000 tonnes again,” Whyte said.
These figures are in-shell tonnes at 1.5% moisture and 47,000 in-shell tonnes is the expected final volume for the 2015 crop.
Harvesting starts in March/April and flowerings for the next crop are in September/October.
Gauging demand Global Trading & Agency in Holland said it was seeing signs of a recovery in the macadamia market. In late October and early November the company cited improved buying interest in recent weeks and noted that most of the stocks had been depleted.
The company feels that the macadamia market needs to change to prepare for the future.
It finds that the Chinese market is among those that are changing very fast and this is particularly the case with the Hangzhou/Lin’an market. From a bulk market in which quality took second place, it has very quickly developed into a quality sensitive market, the company observed. “This is a very good development and you see it happening all across the board in China,” Global Trading & Agency added.
The company noted that it will be interesting to see how

Goodpack has an in-depth understanding of the business of packing and shipping food and beverage products globally. They know Food & Beverage companies are under constant pressure to reduce operating costs, improve top-line revenue, manage procurement volatility due to seasonality and better integrate planning and execution. This is the reason Goodpack Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are specifically designed to maximise efficiency and volume, giving customers the most cost-effective and sustainable approach to transporting product.
When directly compared to other packaging, the resulting cost savings to customers is clearly evident.
For example, with Goodpack, you can:
• Pack up to 31% more product in a 20-ft. sea container versus wood or plastic bins for export shipments
• Save 12-40% in transportation/freight costs over alternate bins or drums
• Save 15-25% in warehouse labour costs
• Pack 7-10% more product in a rail car for U.S. domestic shipments than standard plywood or plastic bins
• Experience flexible and cost-efficient term and trip lease options
The efficient, space-saving design of Goodpack IBCs makes them easy to stack when full or empty. They set up or knock down in minutes, lowering labour and supply chain costs.
• Goodpack MB5s hold 6,000 litres per pallet space vs. 2,400 litres with drums
• MB5s stack 4 pallets high (laden/filled) vs. 2-3 pallets high for drums
• MB5s have 90% more efficient empty storage vs. drums
Goodpack is committed to providing customers with efficient containers coupled with a global network for
delivery and collection from any supplier or bottling location.
SUPPLY CHAIN EFFICIENCY Goodpack IBCs can be easily integrated into a customer’s supply chain. The IBCs are made of galvanised steel and feature a convenient built-in pallet with four-way entry for forklift handling. They can be collapsed within seconds to save on warehouse space. Unlike wood and corrugated bins, they do not require structural strapping. The stackable, interlocking design when full or empty offers efficiency in storage, especially over drums. One MB5 is equivalent to seven-and-a-half 200-litre drums, creating inherent efficiencies throughout the supply chain. Goodpack IBCs are suitable for shipping in both dry and refrigerated 20-foot and 40-foot containers.
SINGLE-SOURCE RENTAL Goodpack makes renting IBCs easy by delivering, collecting and managing the entire rental process. The Goodpack rental system eliminates the need for capex and is perfect for managing volume fluctuations during season.
“We have a structurally strong product; but, more importantly, we help
GOODPACK Customers Can Fit 24,000 Litres of Product in a 20-Ft. Sea Container
Goodpack is developing an Intelligent Digital Supply Chain (IDSC) to provide customers with much greater visibility of their global supply chain. This IDSC is being designed for flexibility so it can be adapted to the specific needs of Goodpack customers. It is scheduled for roll out early next year.

companies save costs through our rental program,” said George McFarlin, Senior Vice President – Global and Strategic Accounts at Goodpack. Because Goodpack owns and operates the world’s largest fleet of IBCs, this allows them to provide one-way trip rentals to most export destinations.
The inherent inefficiencies of plastic or steel drums, such as the high cost of storage, disposal and transit, make Goodpack bulk packaging the best option.
GREEN AND LEANCompared to other conventional containers and drums, returnable Goodpack IBCs have the lowest environmental impact and lowest carbon footprint, which makes them a truly superior packaging solution. According to McFarlin, “Every year, the Goodpack IBC fleet saves the equivalent of over 7 million trees from being harvested to make disposable boxes.” Goodpack IBCs reduce the impact of expendable packaging and eliminate waste for a greener supply chain, helping Goodpack customers gain a competitive advantage.
The Goodpack model has shown that cost efficiency does not have to be achieved at the expense of sustainability. Goodpack offers a solution that satisfies today’s environmental concerns through:
• Waste minimisation (no bins, drums or pallets to dispose of)
• Reusable packaging (no recycling needed – Goodpack containers are collected and reused)
• Lower carbon emissions and environmental impact (no energy required for recycling, disposal or landfill)
“Reusing is a step ahead of recycling,” said McFarlin, highlighting that if both practices are aimed at reducing landfill waste, reusing containers also cuts down on the energy and water required for recycling. The life cycle of the IBC is much longer since it can simply be used again and again.
vERSATILE FOOD-SAFE PACKAGINGHygienic and food safe, Goodpack IBCs help companies achieve HACCP by eliminating wood contamination. Aseptic and non-aseptic bags are available to fit the large-capacity Goodpack MB5. Their bulk containers have the strength-of-steel construction and a flexibility of design that is perfect for a wide range of food products, including:
• Aseptic tomato paste and diced
• Aseptic tropicals, including banana puree, mango and coconut water
• Aseptic apple juice, grape juice and pineapple juice concentrate
• Frozen concentrated orange juice
• Aseptic NFC pineapple juice, orange juice and apple juice
• Aseptic fruit pulps
• All types of edible oils
Goodpack IBCs remove the need for fumigation and heat treatment, putting them in high demand with Food & Beverage customers. Problems related to wooden boxes, such as mold, rotting wood, wood chips and other HACCP-related issues, are eliminated.
Hygienic and food-safe, Goodpack IBCs are also functional in wet wash-down environments. They help customers meet certain environmental standards, such as ISPM 15 and ISO 14000.
Goodpack IBCs have a large, 1.65 MT/1,500 litre capacity and can be fitted with a hygienic food-grade barrier or non-barrier plastic bladder. During unpacking, the IBCs can be rotated to empty the product; or the top of the bag can be cut open, allowing product to be pumped from the top, making them perfect for juices, concentrates and other food products.
ABOUT GOODPACKGoodpack owns and operates the world’s largest fleet of patented, steel Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). This multimodal, reusable metal box system provides packaging, transporting and storage rental solutions to the Food & Beverage industry. Headquartered in Singapore, Goodpack operates through a continually growing global network of subsidiaries and regional offices in 77 countries. With over 3.6 million IBCs and more than 7,700 collection and delivery points, customers can hire and dehire Goodpack IBCs just about anywhere in the world.

IEG Vu editor Neil Murray quizzes Hila Bentman of Gat Foods about the company’s plans for Anuga.
Innovation from Israel
NM: What new products have you got planned for Anuga?
HB: As in every Anuga edition, we are presenting new developments that we believe are most demanded by consumers.
Following the backlash on sugary drinks, we will present our different solutions answering consumers’ demands for less sugary drinks and drinks with reduced sweetness level. Fruity water is a new development we present for both water and soft drinks companies alike as the drink is refreshing by nature but becomes more interesting and tasty with a mild addition of fruit. We also have an interesting range of mid-calories drinks that are less sugary and may also have a lower sweetness profile than their regular version. Yet, they are balanced and tasty. We see more and more of these mid-calorie range drinks in the markets and believe they would soon turn to be the standard in many
countries. We also offer the typical diet drinks with natural or high intensity sweeteners.
We shall also present our different solutions we are developing for our clients: from organic and clean label, through mocktails, natural energy, isotonic drinks, enriched mouthfeel etc… These are all samples that can be tailor-made upon clients’ requests. Reducing sweetness level is one of the hottest topics in the industry led by consumers’ expectations.
NM: Gat’s basis is as a juice company, but lately you have been devoting a lot of attention to juice drinks, and other products with a fruit juice component. How much of your production is now devoted to such products?
HB: Indeed: we have been investing growing R&D and sales efforts in solutions for the juice drinks category during the last five years. Alongside,
100% juice or nectars we see how the juice drinks category here will expand in different flavours and formats. Cost is a main issue for both consumers and the industry. Consumers are looking for value for money products and the industry looks for ways to reduce its dependence on raw materials prices and price volatility. Urban lifestyle also impacts consumers who are looking for refreshing and fun on-the-go drinks and juice drinks provide them with an accessible and tasty solution.
NM: What new flavours do you think will prove popular? How about spices and red fruits, or herbs like ginger?
HB: We are operating in different regions of the world so the taste profiles and new emerging flavours vary from one region to another. In general we see that consumers are looking for new excitements, and we can offer them solutions such as our mocktails and natural energy drinks with spices.
In the mature markets, we see the focus on more mild flavours or addition of herbs and spices as a gentle twist (ginger, mint, curcumin). In the emerging markets, combinations of fruit and vegetables will gradually gain more popularity.
NM: What, in your opinion, will be the big juice or juice drinks trend in 2018?
HB: We have high expectations for the natural energy category, for which we can offer our series of still or carbonated natural energy drinks, based on green coffee beans, guarana, different juices and even spices. We also believe Fruity Water will prove to be popular.
This year at Sial, Gat Foods will showcase its abilities in yet another exotic product concept, as well as its advanced natural integrated solutions.

China is the country’s first supplier. Last year´s imports from China reached 12,500 tonnes; 69% of the total volume imported. Peru ranked second with an import volume of 3,600 tonnes and Netherlands in third place with 2,000 tonnes imported.
In the last five years, canned asparagus imports to Germany have progressively decreased.
Germany harvested 114,090 tonnes of asparagus in 2014, according to the latest FAO data. The country’s production is mainly consumed fresh as canned asparagus exports last year amounted to 2,800 tonnes – on average within the last five years, to Denmark and France.
Germany depends on fish and seafood imports to meet domestic consumption.
Skipjack tuna, mainly canned, is the second main fish product imported after Pacific, Atlantic and Danube salmon.
Ecuador, Papua New Guinea and the Philippines are the main canned tuna suppliers to Germany. However, import volumes have slowly decreased in the last five years.
Last year, Germany exported 14,000 tonnes of canned tuna. Export volumes have averaged 13,000 tonnes over the last five years.
German imports of canned asparagus last year reached 18,200 tonnes worth USD46.2 million. The country ranks second in the list of canned asparagus importers, after Spain and before France.

In 2016, Germany imported 58,354 tonnes of frozen raspberries [HS08112031], a fourth of the global trading movements which set around 211,1000 tonnes. Germany remains the main market destination for this commodity despite a 6% contraction of the imported volume year-on-year, which seems to be more linked to a general downturn for this market rather than a regional issue. Main suppliers are Serbia (29,370 tonnes) and Poland (17,000 tonnes), with some quantities imported also from Bulgaria (981 tonnes) and Bosnia Herzegovina (940 tonnes).
The country hit a world record also for the import of IQF sour cherries, despite a feeble contraction recorded across the last five years. In 2016, the country bought on the global market 45,600 tonnes of frozen cherries followed by Russia with just above half the volume at
27,400 tonnes and Belarus at 24,483 tonnes. About half the volume imported in Germany came from Poland (24,770 tonnes in 2016), and the rest was purchased from Serbia (9,500 tonnes) and Hungary (3,570 tonnes).
Domestic production of sour cherries shrunk following a 50% contraction of the orchards which went from 4,200 hectares in 2006 to 2,000 ha in 2017. That is mostly due to the strong competition of countries that can count on low production costs, such as Hungary and Poland within the EU.
Despite the contraction, the use of sour cherries for processing is relatively stable and roughly amounts to 75-90% of the German domestic production. Most tart cherries are used for canning (over 80%), while the remainder finds its way into juice production.
German consumers have developed a taste for frozen berries and as a result the country has become the world’s largest importer of frozen sour cherry and raspberry.

The country is the second largest importer of frozen wild blueberry and strawberry after the US, which is a quite impressive result considering that Germany’s population is a tenth of that of the US.
In 2016, Germany purchased 10,400 tonnes of frozen wild blueberry [HS0811902024; HS08119011] against the 40,000 tonnes of the US. Its main supplier was Canada (9,600 tonnes) followed by Spain (421 tonnes).
Concerning frozen strawberry, in the same year the country imported 84,789 tonnes against 119,000 tonnes of the US. Germany’s main supplier was Poland, which counts for more than half of the total intake (45,000 tonnes), followed by the Netherlands (12,000 tonnes which consists mostly of a re-export of frozen strawberries shipped to Rotterdam from Morocco, China and other producing countries), Spain (6,600 tonnes) and China (5,000 tonnes).
Not only fruitAccording to a recent study published by the German Frozen Food institute (Deutsches Tiefkühlinstitut) the sales grew by 3.6% in 2016. The average per capita consumption of frozen food in 2016 rose by almost one kilogramme, topping 45.4 kg which means that every household in Germany consumed an average of 91.5 kg of frozen food last year. According to the Institute, consumption of frozen food is driven up by a trend in choosing time-saving preparations both for in the household and foodservice sectors.
