Here are some strong points of the GastroPan Competitions:
- The competitions within the event help producers with ideas for product diversification, marking market trends, and increasing the visibility of producers in the field.
- Consumer trust in a specific producer can significantly increase if that producer wins the title of ‘Bread of the Year.’ This title can be used to add value to the entire range of products.
- The medals, trophies, and diplomas won can be used for promotion and marketing. They are endorsed by a jury composed of the best Romanian and foreign specialists in the field.
- The finished products presented at GastroPan attract the most visitors, including representatives of the press. After the competitions are judged, all products remain on display throughout the exhibition, giving producers the opportunity to promote them to visitors through tasting campaigns.
