SA’s Emerging Food Producers On Show

298286_236296213081865_2192497_nEleven emerging regional food businesses have been selected to showcase their premium products at the award winning Cellar Door Wine Festival in Adelaide this month.

The food businesses will be part of the new Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) “New Producers’ Area”, which has been introduced for the first time at this year’s festival, to be held on 22-24 February at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

Minister for Food and Regional Development, Gail Gago said emerging food producers will be given the opportunity to access an audience they previously may not have been able to target.

“The event provides a unique opportunity for our regional food businesses to showcase their products and collaborate with a range of groups who are working together to promote the best food and produce South Australia has to offer,” Ms Gago said.

“Exhibitors will offer tastings of their products, which range from capers, olive oil, pasta products, specialty cheeses, organic products, spices and a vast selection of chocolates and sweet treats.

“The enthusiasm and excitement from South Australia’s new producers to be involved has been impressive.

“Up to 8,000 people are expected to attend this year’s festival, all of which will be lucky to have the chance to try and buy new and exciting local products.

“I commend the collaboration between Regional Food Groups, Food SA, Farmers’ Markets, Adelaide Convention Centre and PIRSA to help realise this opportunity for participants.

Supporting this initiative forms part of the State Government’s strategy to grow South Australia’s competitive edge as a producer of premium food and wine from our clean environment.
