What VIP Hosted Buyers say about WorldFood Istanbul 💬
Feedback from international buyers who joined 33rd edition.
WorldFood Istanbul 2025 exceeded all my expectations. My goal was to meet new suppliers, build connections, and expand our business with Türkiye, but the experience went far beyond that. I discovered innovative products to market
in our region, held productive discussions,and even signed several contracts, adding new items to our portfolio.
I came to WorldFood Istanbul 2025 from Melbourne, Australia, expecting a wellorganized event with a wide range of suppliers and that’s exactly what I found. My goal was to discover high-quality products, and I made several promising contacts today. I was particularly impressed by the excellent selection of pasta, peeled tomatoes, olives, and olive oil, which are very popular in Australia. It’s exciting to see such products presented on this scale, and I look forward to exploring the opportunities they offer for my market.

WorldFood Istanbul 2025 has been a great experience for me. I came here hoping to meet many Turkish brands
and discover unique products to bring to our shelves in Baku and across Azerbaijan, and that’s exactly what I’ve found. On the first day I focused on meeting with our existing partners, and today I’ve been exploring new companies and opportunities. I’ve already come across several unique products that we plan to follow up on after the exhibition, and I’m confident we will build successful collaborations.
