European agricultural products provide that assurance of quality, taste and diversity and that is what makes them popular at our stores".

This consumer event helped communicate the quality aspects and specialties of processed foods from European countries, such as, Greece, Denmark, The Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France. As part of the food promotional campaign, the EU has also participated at the 9th edition of the Annapoorna World of Food India Exhibition 2014 in Mumbai.
