MATSUYAMA, Japan, March 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ehime Prefecture, widely known in Japan as a producer of citrus fruits and marine products, is a treasure house of ingredients from the sea and mountains.

The previous food fair was held at three DON DON DONKI Hong Kong stores two years ago (July-November 2021), and it was well received. The upcoming fair will be expanded to be held at nine shops selling Ehime products, including many items that were not previously available. Ehime Prefecture has held food fairs featuring processed foods and products using citrus fruits separately in the past, but this year's event will handle both processed food products and citrus fruits simultaneously. (The citrus fruit fair is scheduled to start around March 11.)

Exports of Ehime Prefecture's specialties
Ehime Prefecture was the first among local municipalities in Japan to set up a sales promotion division in 2012 to help local business operators and producers with their sales activities and has since been engaged in efforts to develop markets in Japan and abroad. For overseas promotional activities, Ehime Prefecture signed a partnership agreement with Pan Pacific International Holdings Corporation (PPIH) in 2020, the first among Japanese local governments, to expand exports of Ehime products such as agricultural, forestry, and fishery products.
