Frankly speaking, we didn’t foresee such high interest to our company and products as business visitors had. We got many opportunities for developing new sale markets both domestically and internationally. We proceed negotiating with foreign buyers we met during the trade show. There was very fruitful meetings with representatives of retail chains, mainly “Brusnuchka” market. So, we are pleased by such successful experience”.
