From September 4 to 6, Riga hosted the leading food industry exhibition Riga FOOD 2025, where the capital was represented by the MADE IN KYIV collective stand. Over three days, 10 food and packaging manufacturers from the capital presented their products on an area of 36 m².
The grand opening of the stand was attended by Anatoliy Kutsevol, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Latvia, Maris Sprindžuks, Vice Mayor of Riga, Hanna Starostenko, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration, and Anatoliy Bahan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development of the Kyiv City State Administration.
The three days of the collective stand’s operation were intense and productive: the stand was visited by a large number of guests, product presentations were held, and lively negotiations and discussions on new prospects for cooperation took place.
Also, on September 5, the exhibition hosted a Business Forum on Ukrainian-Latvian Cooperation, organized by the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Trade House Ukraina.
The atmosphere of the event confirmed the high level of interest in Ukrainian business and facilitated effective dialogue for the development of partnerships.

We see a high level of interest in the products of Kyiv companies and are confident that the contacts established here will grow into lasting partnerships,” said Anatoliy Bagan, Deputy Director of the Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development of the Kyiv City State Administration.
