Meet the Buyer – London - UK

Would you like to export your organic products to the British market?

In collaboration with The Royal Danish Embassy in London, The Danish Agriculture & Food Council invites Danish organic food companies to a focused ‘Meet the Buyer’ day. Through targeted B2B-meetings you’ll meet with buyers from selected retail chains and importers/distributors.

There is an increased demand for more natural, clean, and organic products in the UK. Denmark has positioned itself at the forefront on the organic agenda with innovative food companies disrupting the classical categories.

The match-making event will take place on October 16th and will create the framework for organic Danish producers to meet with British buyers from retail and importers/distributors. Through 1:1 sessions, you’ll get the opportunity to present your products to selected buyers at their location. In advance of the event, you’ll receive information about the British participants to prepare products and pitch.
