TRADE PROMOTION
TRADE PROMOTION
Increasing competition stimulates growers and producers to search for new markets and clients. A dialogue among the major market players: supermarkets, wholesalers, associations, growers, processors and financial institutions is a complex process that should result into new partnerships, and, consequently, increase in revenues, profits and employment.

BRIDGES organizes various events aiming to establish new partnerships between growers and potential buyers of agricultural products and representatives of agribusiness infrastructure and supply chain that include the following:
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES
TRADE FORUMS
INVESTMENT FORUMS
B2B MEETINGS
TRADE MISSIONS
These events establish a platform for direct negotiations and networking among farmers and wholesalers, supermarkets, processors, financial institutions and others. Producers of agricultural commodities receive a unique opportunity to present their products, future production potential and capacity to lock in better prices, sign new contracts and agree on additional supplies with supermarkets, processors and wholesalers as well as obtain additional financing for business expansion and development.
