14 — 17 сентября 2010 года
С 14 по 17 сентября 2010 года в Экспоцентре на Красной Пресне прошла ежегодная выставка World Food. В этом году успешно приняли участие в выставке чайные компании Шри Ланки при активной поддержке Чайного Бюро и Посольства Шри Ланки в России. Открыл стенд Шри Ланки Е.П. Посол Удаянга Виратунга.
В своей приветственной речи к участникам он сказал, что рад видеть много новых лиц среди представленных на выставке чайных компаний. «После кризисного падения чайного производства на Шри ланке в прошлом 2009 году, этот 2010 год бьет все рекорды роста увеличения объемов производства и продаж чая», — отметил г-н Виратунга. Россия как всегда занимает первое место среди стран-потребителей Цейлонского чая в мире. Цейлонский чай составляет 35% всего чайного Рынка России. Г-н Посол так же заявил, что в следующем году планируется выделение рекламного бюджета на продвижение Цейлонского чая, что, безусловно, будет способствовать еще большей популяризации этого напитка. Г-н Посол пожелал всем участникам удачи и хороших, надежных партнеров в бизнесе.
