World's largest food trade fair Anuga attracts tens of thousands to Cologne!
Anuga, the world's largest food trade fair, is currently taking place in Cologne. The event sets a new record with over 8,000 exhibitors. Numerous companies present their latest products here, such as innovative snacks made from crickets and butter made from apricot kernels. The focus is on convincing tens of thousands of trade visitors who come from different countries to experience the trends in the food industry up close. According to WDR, a refreshing 94 percent of exhibitors and visitors come from abroad.
It will be particularly exciting for the international guests who will stay in the numerous hotels around Cologne. Many visitors come from the Benelux countries, which makes the trade fair not only a business but also a social event. Trade fair boss Gerald Böse appears relaxed and expects only minor traffic restrictions in the first half of the day until the early afternoon. This is mainly due to the parallel marathon taking place on Sunday, in which around 37,000 participants will march through the city.
