Kyiv at Riga FOOD 2025: New Opportunities for Business and International Partnerships

From September 4 to 6, Riga hosted the leading food industry exhibition Riga FOOD 2025, where the capital of Ukraine was represented with a collective stand MADE IN KYIV. On an area of 36 m², during three days, ten Kyiv-based food and packaging producers presented their products.

The official opening of the stand took place with the participation of Anatolii Kutsevol, Ambassador of Ukraine to Latvia; Māris Sprindžuks, Deputy Mayor of Riga; Hanna Starostenko, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA); and Anatolii Bahan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development of the KCSA.

All three days of the collective stand were dynamic and productive: the stand welcomed a large number of visitors, product presentations were held, and lively negotiations and discussions on new cooperation prospects took place.

In addition, on September 5, the Ukrainian-Latvian Business Cooperation Forum was held as part of the exhibition, organized with the support of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Trade House Ukraina.

The event’s atmosphere confirmed the high level of interest in Ukrainian business and fostered effective dialogue for developing partnership relations.

“The results of Kyiv’s participation in Riga FOOD 2025 confirm that the capital’s businesses have significant export potential and are capable of competing in international markets. We see strong interest in the products of Kyiv companies and are confident that the contacts established here will grow into long-term partnerships,” said Anatolii Bahan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development of the KCSA.
