The F2F Health Matters project consortium prepared analyses of five countries selected within the project that are experiencing a growing interest in the topics of healthy food, bio-based value chains and sustainability. They represent a great potential for ambitious SMEs to enter foreign markets. The reports carry detailed information about the market overview, trade between the selected country and EU, exporting, market trends, and consumer analysis.
The Japanese market is a gateway to the Asian market. A good reference in the Japanese market will be positively valued in other markets, as Japan applies very high-quality standards that serve as a reference for other Asian countries.
South Korea‘s regulatory efficiency, coupled with its market openness and the government’s willingness to accept foreign investment, make doing business in South Korea a wise choice.
Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s top investment destinations. With the advantages of geography, natural resources, and an affordable labour force, Vietnam attracts a large amount of capital each year.
Canada is a price-driven market where the most competitive exporters in the world are present. Therefore, many EU food and drink products are already successfully exported to Canada.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has well-developed logistical services and transportation infrastructure, high and increasing demand for premium-high-value foods and imported products, and free trade zones that offer a lot of advantages to foreign businesses.
