Martin März, fairtrade - CEO:
"The idea to launch a professional platform especially for the Nigerian business community was brought up by the exhibitors and the organizers of national pavilions at our agrofood & plastprintpack West Africa 2013 in Accra last December", says Martin März, fairtrade's CEO.
"We then presented the new event at meetings in Lagos with the economic counsellors of Austria, Belgium, Denmark, the European Union, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden in February and September this year and received an all-around positive feed-back. Therefore we are excited to build-up this new major platform for our long-term customers."
