NEWS 9 PET planet insider Vol. 16 No. 04/15 www.petpla.net Iran offers great potential for manufacturers The 22nd edition of Iran Food+Bev Tec will be held from 26 - 29 May, 2015 at the Tehran International Fairgrounds. With its 76 million people, Iran is the most populated country in the Middle East. The food and beverage industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in the country. A growing and young population, increasing urbanization and a growing middle class contribute to the rising demand for modern processed and pack- aged foods and beverages. According to estimates 18 million tonnes of pack- aged foods are sold in Iran, with a rising tendency. After Saudi Arabia, Iran is the second largest market for soft drinks in the Middle East. However, the per capita consumption is very low with 53 liters compared to neighboring Arab countries, offering good growth potential for the future. Despite own production, Iran is not able to meet the demand for modern processing and packaging machinery and is dependent on imports. This has been increasingly difficult in recent years because of the sanctions and the resulting difficulties in payments. In 2013, the country imported food processing and packaging machinery worth 145 million euros, or 22% less than in 2012. Germany is the largest trading partner after Italy. Due to the sanctions many investments were postponed in recent years. The country needs to modernize its food and beverage industry, and to con- tinue to expand it in order to meet the growing demand of the population for food and beverages. www.fairtrade-messe.de Erema showcases TVEplus technology at PLAST 2015 Erema’s focus at Plast 2015 from 5-9 May in Milan will be on the new Intar- ema systems featuring the core technology Counter Current.
