Hemp Bliss Introduced to European Market

"Manitoba Harvest will Exhibit their Healthy Hemp Foods at the BioFach Organic Trade Show in Germany

Winnipeg, Manitoba (February 7, 2008) – For the past few decades, the movement of eco-friendly hemp products has flowed primarily from the European Union toward North America. Now, a dynamic Canadian company that helped re-establish sustainable hemp agriculture in North America in the 1990’s is ‘turning the tide’ by launching their award-winning Hemp Bliss organic hempmilk into European markets. Manitoba Harvest (www.manitobaharvest.com ) is a hemp foods pioneer that is crossing the sea to exhibit Hemp Bliss and their full line of healthy hemp foods at BioFach, the largest organic trade show in the world, from February 21-24, 2008. The BioFach event (www.biofach.de), which is held annually in Nuremberg Germany, will feature more than 2,500 exhibitors, and will attract more than 45,000 retailers and industry experts from more than 100 countries.

Hemp foods are one of the hottest health food trends in North America, growing 39% from 2006 to 2007, and now Manitoba Harvest is expanding swiftly into international markets to capitalize on emerging global interest. “Our products have been available in Japan and the United Kingdom for a couple of years, but interest is really picking up in other countries where organic lifestyles and awareness of hemp’s nutritional value and culinary merits are growing,” says Mike Fata, President and co-founder of Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils."
