The only way to find out where you’re coming from and what you want is to ask questions and listen to your replies. FCI talks to you and listens – our editorial is on what you have said and want to read.

We are the Industry contributors magazine, where you can read about what is happening in industry sectors including; trade and travel plus the supply chain. Our list of contributors is never stagnant and you will be able to read about how professionals view the industry fit, not just from a journalists point of view.

We will publish four seasonal issues per year. Each issue is divided into three sections: The Epicurean scene emphasising on fresh produce, wellness and health. Foodservice where catering is done on large volumes and based on convenience. Last of all we cover Trade and Food expo’s. We will keep you posted with a bit of travel and wine as well.
