E-database of Slovak food products launched
Slovak Food Export (http://bestslovakfood.com/), an electronic database of Slovak foodstuffs and their producers, is aimed at helping Slovak producers to establish trade contacts abroad.
The Agriculture and Rural Development Ministry is launching new measures to support Slovak food producers, said Agriculture Minister Gabriela Matecna (Slovak National Party/SNS) at the opening of Export Day at the Gastra & Kulinaria exhibition in Nitra on Thursday.
Slovak Food Export, an electronic database of Slovak foodstuffs and their producers (http://bestslovakfood.com/), is aimed at helping Slovak producers to establish trade contacts abroad. Matecna believes that supporting the export activities of food producers can reduce Slovakia's negative food trade balance, strengthen domestic production and increase food safety. The electronic database of Slovak producers and food products should serve to present Slovak products abroad. Any Slovak food producing company that exports food or includes this in its long-term strategy can enrol in the database for free.
"The database serves to present the Slovak food industry and our products to ambassadors and diplomats during their talks and to seek
new sales opportunities for Slovak companies. At the same time, we'll
distribute it to foreign embassies and economic diplomats who have
Slovakia in their portfolio. The database is also designed for foreign
purchasers, distributors, importers, representatives of retail and
wholesale chains," said head of the Agriculture Ministry's Food and
Trade Section Milan Lapsansky.
The database is available at the www.bestslovakfood.com website
and administered by the Agriculture Ministry.
