The Fair has become the main industry event for food professionals in Estonia, and as such regularly has over 6000 food professionals and trade visitors in attendance. It also offers many chances to take part in a wide range of varied events – competitions (this year  Bocuse d’Or national competition for example among 13 competitions held) and seminars (this year altogether 290 participants), presentations and product tasting sessions.

This year there were 7230 trade visitors (including 280 foreigners) and 166 (co-)exhibitors (36 foreign ones) – including the  Haaga-Helia Hospitality Competence Centre in Estonia.
