ANUGA 2017
7 - 11 October 2017
Export and innovations are the growth drivers of the worldwide food industry. The 34th
ANUGA, held during 7th- 11th October 2017, was the best trade fair in a long time for
many of the exhibitors. More than 7,400 companies from 107 countries, a new record,
presented products from all over the world and all categories over the course of five days.
Around 165,000 trade visitors from 198 countries took advantage of this unique offer for
sourcing, information and ordering at top level.
In addition to the high level of internationality, which characterised the picture of the
trade fair on all days, the quality of the visitors was once again outstanding. For
example, Executive Directors and top buyers from leading global trading companies were
registered. The out-of-home market was also represented by international teams in
Cologne as well as decision-makers from the major online trading companies. The trade
fair was opened by the NRW Minister, Christina SchuleFöcking. The honorary guest at
the opening was the Indian Minister for the Food Processing Industries, Smt. Harsimrat
Kaur Badal. India was the partner country of ANUGA 2017.
4. APEDA stand details viz. area, location etc.
Government approved APEDA’s participation in the 34th ANUGA 2017 held at the
Koelnmesse Exhibition Grounds, Cologne Germany, and this time it was of even more
importance, as India was a partner country in ANUGA 2017 which brought India to the
fore front and main limelight.
For India Pavilion, ITPO had taken a total space of 1257 sq. m out of which APEDA had
booked 504 sq. m space for organizing its participation during the event and India
Pavilion was set up in hall 11.3
33 exporters participated in the event. APEDA displayed a range of food products like
basmati rice, dehydrated spices, processed foods, pickles and chutney, snack foods,
frozen products and peanut and peanut products etc. The entire India pavilion had a
very aesthetic and culturally rich design giving it a very attractive look and feel. It was
set up for Indian Agri products, and was greatly appreciated by the exporters, importers,
embassy officials and the visitors.
APEDA Pavilion and the mezzanine lounge were the real attraction and buzzing centre
for visitors and created a bright, colourful and vibrant ambience accompanied by
pleasant exoticaromas of different Indian Food ingredients. The lounge area was
strategically placed in such a manner that it was seen right there from the entrance.
Biryani sampling counter gave the Indian Pavilion the significant presence at the show
and was adored by the visitors.
5. India as a Partner country in ANUGA 2017
With 82 million consumers, Germany is the largest market for food and beverage players
in Europe. Total food retailing revenue reached € 191 billion in 2015, growing by 2.3%.
Meat products formed the largest share of the German food and beverage industry in
2015.At the same time, taking into consideration the grandiosity of the ANUGA
exhibition, with ten exhibitions combined together, around 160,000 visitors and over
7,000 exhibitors showcasing innovative products, being a partner country at such a
show was the right decision in all aspects. It brought the Indian brand, cuisine and taste
palette which is praised all across the globe, into the limelight. The Indian brands came
to the forefront and with the help of APEDA, the exhibitors got the attention and the
right kind of business leads, which is what they always look forward to.
In fact, many exhibitors felt that India being a partner country added a lot of advantage
for them in terms of quality visitors and to warrant a repeat visit.
The export-oriented Indian food industry was thus able to reach an international and
first-class trade audience at Anuga. The innovations, which as always were a key focus
of Anuga, contributed towards providing the industry with new impulses and ideas.
The high interest from the international food industry proves that the trade fair is a
must-attend event in the diaries of the food manufacturers and buyers. Anyone, who
wants to get a picture of how the world eats and drinks today, has to come to an
exhibition like this, and being a partner country here, gives you the stage and public eye
of the entire world to showcase the products displayed by Indian exhibitors. With the
brandings placed throughout the exhibition and the quality of stalls and lounge areas,
ANUGA 2017 and India as its partner country was a huge success.
5. Individual Stalls:
The entire pavilion was custom built, using premium finishes ensuring prominent
visibility of Brand India and comfort of individual exhibitors.
An innate design panel was introduced in the stall design this time which
enhanced the look and feel of the stall, giving it a very traditional touch. All the stalls
were provided with custom built reception table cum display counter and with shelves
for the display of their products. They were provided with high quality & high power
lights for better visibility. Aesthetically designed and smartly placed India overhead
brandings ensured visibility from across the hall.
Following companies participated under APEDA:-

7. Chief Guest
HON’BLE Union Minister for Food Processing Smt. Harsimrat Kaur along with other
important dignitaries visited the Indian Pavilion on 7th October. The chief guest took the
time out to visit all the exhibitors at their booth and discussed with them those extra
efforts that could still be made by the Government to help drive more mileage for the
participating companies at such mega-events.

While designing and executing the India pavilion, the key consideration was the
uniformity in the colour schemes and graphical mixes used for different booths inside
the pavilion. The signage and graphics were intended with one message of promoting
agro food products of India. The graphics were designed keeping in mind the rich
heritage and cultural Indian background along with the modern development taking
place in processed food sector.
A special effort was also made to ensure uniformity of branding across the entire India
Pavilion. All the posters for the individual exhibitors were centrally designed using the
services of Seventy Seven Entertainment and all the exhibitors were satisfied with poster
placements.
12. Special campaign undertaken during the exhibition
In continuation to the efforts already underway by APEDA to introduce the world to the
aromatic flavour of the Indian Basmati rice and also in this process, open new avenues
for the Indian rice exporters. Dedicated Sampling areas were created inside the common
area for the biryani and wine. 200 kg basmati rice specially procured for the purpose
was shipped to Cologne and highly popular Indian restaurant was hired under the
supervision of APEDA, to serve the Veg & Non-Veg Biryani during the event days.
APEDA helped in procuring the Indian wines to the venue for sampling. Especially
design display racks showcased the Indian wines which were a huge attraction and
enhanced the look and feel of the common area.
Buyers’ and business visitors had an opportunity to try the wines from the exhibitors at
the tasting zone. The wine tasting area served as the venue for the tasting sessions and
gather enthusiasts from diverse regions.
Special effort was made to educate the visitors during the wine tasting sessions about
the unique flavour of the Indian wines and their pairing with Indian cuisines like
Biryani.
The event was an instant hit and attracted long queues of business visitors patiently
lining up to sample this unique cuisine. The aromatic biryani and Indian wine sampling
served the purpose and fulfilled the goal of promoting the Indian flavours all around the
globe as the sampling created a huge buzz during the exhibition and was highly praised
by the visitors.

concerned exporters to get a better response by putting their stall in relevant areas

EVENT REPORT
Participation from India: Agricultural and processed food products, Tea, Coffee, Spices,
Cashew, Oilseed and Produce
1) Onsite Branding
2) Outdoor branding
3) Knowledge Kit
4) Digital branding
Onsite branding:
India was participating as partner country at ANUGA 2017. The India pavilion was
booked in two halls – Hall 11.3 (Fine Food) and Hall 7.1 (Beverages). To ensure
maximum mileage from the event, IBEF contacted the event organisers for the best
possible branding sites available at the North gate, as well as the south gate, considering
close proximity to the two halls.
Once IBEF made a preliminary selection, the Embassy of India was contacted in
Frankfurt, which organised a recce of the site. Based on the recce, the following
branding sites were selected:
India was being represented at the event by agricultural and processed foods, tea, coffee,
spices, oilseeds and produce and cashew sectors, led by respective councils/boards.
IBEF initially developed creatives through its agency that focused on promoting India’s
strengths as an exporter of these products. The overarching brand positioning was –
Indian Food & Beverage Industry – Delighting Global Palates. However, with the
feedback of the MoFPI, the positioning was adapted to present India’s strengths across
the value chain – farming, processing, exports, etc. After brainstorming with the agency,
the positioning was changed to India – One of the world’s fastest growing economies.
Individual sectoralcreatives were also developed to showcase the respective strengths of
participating sectors.
IBEF’s targeted branding with the invaluable assistance of the Embassy of India in
Frankfurt covered most of the prominent sites including the south entrance, north
entrance, entrances to hall number 11.3, hall 7.1 and in the passageway between Halls
11.3 (agriculture and processed foods, oilseeds and produce, spices and cashew) and 7.1
(tea and coffee). This ensured huge visibility for India’s presence at the fair and helped
bringing good traffic to the India Pavilion.

Outdoor branding
After discussion and budgetary approval from MoFPI, IBEF took up outdoor branding at
Cologne and Dusseldorf Airport during the week leading up to the event, with a dual
focus of promoting India’s presence at ANUGA 2017 and the upcoming World Food India
in November in New Delhi.

Knowledge Kit: IBEF created a customised pen drive for the event that included
information on each participating sector, along with an exclusive fact book on tea, coffee
and spices of India. In addition, IBEF prepared a special issue of its India Now Business
and Economy magazine focussing on sectors participating at ANUGA.
Digital marketing:
IBEF created a special page for India’s participation at ANUGA on its website, and
prepared content for the page in collaboration with the councils/boards. Furthermore, a
social media campaign was executed to ensure a strong impact on the online medium.
Broad metrics for the impact on digital medium as a result of the campaign are as
follows:
Learning points from the branding campaign:
1) Branding has to be consistent in terms of look and feel for the pavilion and venue
branding. In that regard, better coordination must be ensured between the
pavilion design and the creative agency doing venue branding.
2) Since there are multiple sectors participating, devising a common branding for all
is a challenge. We suggest that all councils/boards come together with IBEF and
have a detailed discussion to build consensus on the branding approach going
forward. Ideally, we should have some common branding elements that remain
consistent across fairs (irrespective of IBEF’s participation). This will ensure
greater impact and better recall for our messaging on India.
3) The option of holding a press conference can also be explored by IBEF for such
events to ensure greater mileage. For that, councils/boards have to specify well in
advance the messaging they would like to communicate, any specific
announcement(s) to be made for the particular market, spokesperson (s) for the
media, etc. Alternatively, we can also try and arrange some interviews through the
local embassy in prominent media.
