During the 10th and 14th of November 2009 Skopje Fair will hold an International Fair of consumer goods ITF AGROFOOD.

Numerous established Slovenian companies from the field of agriculture, food industry and trade, see this as an opportunity for business networking in the region and will be jointly presented in Slovenska hiša (Slovenian house) with the Slovenian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food and the Chamber of Agriculture and Forestry of Slovenia.

Regional Competence Center for Agriculture and Rural Development and business meetings provide solid business arrangements.

Awareness of the strategic importance of food safety and benefits of food producers and the green light for Macedonia to start negotiations for accession to the EU are significantly affected by the exceptional interest in cooperation in the events that support the lively business in Macedonia. This young country, as some experts say, is in addition to Albania becoming one of the most stable countries of SE Europe.

The Regional ministerial forum held by the Slovenian minister, dr. Pogačnik, will offer various interesting tribunes and workshops:
- The improvement of the food safety
- Promotion of the rural development through the national programs and EU funds
- From raw material to brand – How to create successful Macedonian brands

The experts will present advanced, prosperous and well-established projects in different countries/regions.
