MIFB Starts Off 2010 MAHA Ebhibition - Noh Omar
KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- The three-day Malaysia International Food and Beverage trade fair (MIFB) which begins today kick starts the 2010 Malaysia Agriculture, Horticulture & Agro tourism exhibition (MAHA) scheduled for November.
Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Noh Omar said the exhibition will be held from Nov 25 to Dec 5 at the Malaysia Agro-Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) in Selangor.
The 2010 MAHA is expected to attract more foreign companies following the success of its 2008 edition being listed in the Malaysia Book of Records as the largest agricultural exhibition in the country.
"We expect this year's exhibition to be three to four times bigger than the MIFB launched today," he said after launching the trade fair at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC) here.
Noh added that according to the secretariat, 30 per cent of booths for the 2010 MAHA have already been booked by international companies.
Meanwhile, the MIFB themed "Menghidangkan Pasaran Global Berbilion Ringgit" (Serving the Multi-billion Ringgit Global Market), sees 600 booths showcasing various products and food and beverage services from 25 countries including India, Iran, Korea and Thailand.
