In this issue

TURKISH delights were dancing in my head while I was going over this month’s article on Turkey’s food and beverage market. But I have yet to savor an authentic one.
With over 78 million consumers, Turkey is indeed an attractive market, so we bring you the latest industry stats in market snapshot.
It was a real treat putting together this issue. Aside from Turkish food, there’s Italian truffle. If truffle oil, butter, caviar and carpaccio are your thing, then do get in touch with the Truffle Man himself Massimo Vidoni in Dubai. We have his details in boardroom connection.
From South Australia, the company Greenwheat Freekeh is expanding its market for freekeh, which comes from a nutritious grain called greenwheat. With freekeh, you can add potassium, calcium, fiber and other nutrients to everyday meals like salads, cereal, and baked goods. Read about it in ingredients.
For the first time, we speak to Brazil’s chocolate and confectionery organization, ABICAB, which has a membership of 90 companies including Peccin and Nugali. ABICAB and its members have been actively participating in trade shows both in the Middle East and in Europe. Interesting interviews with these companies are in dialogue.
Finally, one for every company to read is the success story of Saudi Arabia’s beverage giant, Al-Rabie, which together with King-Casey, repositioned its brand to enjoy even greater sales. In focus, know why and how you can give your brand a boost.
So are Turkish delights, Brazilian candy, freekeh dancing in your head now?
