Wallonia: A tasty cocktail of tradition and innovation

Wallonia in the south of Belgium is out in force at SIAL Paris 2022 with almost 80 companies presenting across seven different sectors.

For more than 20 years, the Wallonia Export & Investment Agency has been presenting companies from all corners of the agri-food sector at the trade show. Full of contrasts, from the hilly landscapes of the Ardennes to the agricultural plains in the north, the Walloon region offers a very wide range of culinary products and flavours.

Located next to France, it offers all the well-loved Belgian specialities including fries, chocolate and special Abbey beers. But it goes much further than this. Spread across a region of terroirs, its companies blend their traditions with innovation, whether regarding taste, ingredients or sustainability.
