The 60th edition of SIAL (International Food Exhibition) opened in Paris on Saturday and will run until October 23. Despite Lebanon's challenging circumstances, 32 Lebanese agro-industrial institutions are participating, with 18 represented at the Lebanese pavilion.
The caretaker Minister of Industry, Georges Bouchikian, inaugurated the pavilion organized by the Food Industries Syndicate.
The president of the syndicate, Mounir al-Bassat, stated that "the participation of Lebanese food industries in international exhibitions reaffirms the importance of this promising sector, which is considered one of Lebanon’s key industrial sectors, particularly due to the geographic diversity of its exports, its investments, its workforce, and its close link to the agricultural sector."
Held every two years, SIAL brings together nearly 200 countries and features 7,200 exhibitors, expecting to attract around 310,000 professionals.
