A total of 25 Slovakian exhibitors showcased their milk, dairy, cheese, wine and chocolate products at the expo. 

"It's necessary for us to export, because the Slovakian market is very small; we have 5.5 million people whereas Ningbo has more. So it's a great opportunity for us to be here and present our products," said Matus Furek, an exhibitor who brought along samples of his cider.
