She said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The shortlist was really strong with lots of really good products and it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s exciting to see where the market is going in terms of new food products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153But one winner was clear in terms of taste, usability, and the whole enterprise around the product itself. I congratulate them on their business.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After hearing the exciting news, Umeeda Switlo said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Naledo would like to thank Caribbean Export and the European Union for making sure we could attend the virtual event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Thank you to team Belize and all our growers; Spice farm, Texbell, Silk Grass and our distributors Ecoideas in Canada, UNFI in America, and Circle R in Belize. Thanks also to Marie Sharpe for her support and the Government of Belize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We couldn&#8217;t have achieved this without our Belizean team and our wonderful customers around the world.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naledo\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s turmeric paste comes in four sizes and two flavours and is currently sold in over 1,000 retailers in Canada, Belize, America and the Bahamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paste is sustainably produced from the forest to the table without any agricultural inputs. This creates a product that is exceptional in terms of taste and with minimal impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naledo pays its farmers 28 times more than the average turmeric grower and this enables them to invest in education, health care, improved nutrition, and building a better future for their families and communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naledo Belize Inc secures \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcNew Food Product of the Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 prize at leading food event Food Matters Live 2020 connects food producers from around the world Annual expo was held virtually this year because of COVID-19 pandemic Caribbean company Naledo overcame fierce competition to win the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcNew Food Product of the Year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 award at Food [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":252540,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-267772","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
