Ukrainian Confectionery Sector at ISM Cologne: Stronger Together on the Global Stage
While we were still riding the wave of эмоtions after Gulfood, the Ukrainian confectionery industry had already gathered at another key global marketplace — ISM Cologne.
This year, the Ukrainian Export Alliance joined efforts to create a dedicated space for Ukrainian producers, bringing together leading food companies at a collective national stand. The exhibition once again demonstrated the diversity, innovation, and export readiness of Ukrainian manufacturers.
