PH Trade Fair: Noodles Take Centrestage
The noodles and fast food products have taken the lead in sales in the current Port Harcourt International Trade Fair taking place at the Isaac Boro Park.
The Tide has observed that the major point of attraction with high traffic of customers at the fair are the noodles and fast food joints like the Tummy-Tummy Instant noodles and that of the Indomie, the product of DUFIC Food Limited.
Speaking to The Tide on the turn-out of events at the trade fair, the Sales Manager of Tummy-Tummy Foods Industries Limited, Nweke Chinedu, said he was happy with the turn-out of events with respect to sales of their product.
According to him, the sales of their product since the commencement had been outstanding, pointing out that he was likely not going to meet up with the demand of the customers.
He said “right now I am running out of stock, the demand now is high and I have nothing to regret about the trade fair…”
While Tummy-Tummy is celebrating bumper sales, a cosmetic firm, the Obixtrust Cosmetic has expressed a dull sale since the fair started.
According to the Sales Manager, Angel Ume, many people and companies that were supposed to be at the fair are not present, pointing out that even at the second day, people are still building their stands.
She attributed the dull experience in their sales to the shift in the date of the fair, which has delayed the time, coupled with other activities in the state, like the current Rivers Carnival that has divided attention.
Ume also remarked that some bigger companies like the Sonny, LG and Slic among others could not come because of the delay in the commencement of the fair which has coincided with the companies stock taking for the year, but expressed hope for a turn around.
As for Kenneth Ayankwu, the Chief Executive of Kenkate (Nigeria) Limited, a firm that specializes in wears/clothing, the turn out of sales so far is normal, expressing hope that things will improve when salaries are paid to workers.
However, the highest patronage group is the restaurant and canteen operators, who said their food is not even enough for their customers.
