US Dry Bean Council, SIAL 2012 Report, October 31, 2012 2

Held every two years during a 5-day period in October, the SIAL food show is
located 14 miles to the north of Paris, in a specially constructed exhibition center
(Parc des Expositions, Paris Nord Villepinte), comprised of 8 giant halls. The Parc
offers 2,150,000 sq. ft. of exhibition space.
143 US companies and associations exhibited at SIAL 2012 in the US Pavilion.

The US Dry Bean Council’s corner booth (Hall 4, T091), which was adjacent to the
USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council’s booth, had discussions with 210 visitors.
Complete information on SIAL 2012 can be found on the website:

The next SIAL is scheduled for October 19-23, 2014.

Remarks and Recommendations
Transportation at SIAL
Once again, the major preoccupation of exhibitors and visitors to SIAL is the fact
that the transportation system from Paris to the Parc des Expositions remains
woefully inadequate, with no relief in sight. Not only is the RER train system unable
to accommodate the volume of traffic generated by a show that attracts some
150,000 people, but the labor unions that control the train lines now deliberately
choose to strike during the SIAL period in order to bring increased pressure on the
government to grant higher wages and more favorable working conditions.
In anticipation of strikes on the RER train system this year, IMEX, the organizers of
the US Pavilion, hired a private bus company to transport US exhibitors to and
from SIAL each day. The 5-day bus service cost 70 Euros ($90) per person. There
were four pick-up points: 2 on the Left Bank (Odéon and rue Monge) and 2 on the
Right Bank (Champs-Elysées and Etoile).
In order to take full advantage of this bus service, J. Stobbs, representative for the
US Dry Bean Council, made hotel reservations at the Hotel Napoleon, which is
situated near the Etoile (Arc de Triomphe) and only one block from the Etoile pick-
up spot. This location was also only a 2-minute ride to the A1 motorway, which
leads directly to the Parc des Expositions.
Despite this attempt to make transportation to SIAL less painful, problems

remained. Traffic on the A1 motorway was heavy, particularly on the return evening
trips (the A1 motorway is the main artery from Charles-de-Gaulle airport to Paris
and also links France and Belgium). In addition, the drivers of the private bus
company (Cars et Voyages) were unfamiliar with SIAL. They did not necessarily
know how to reach Hall 4 (the location of the US Pavilion) and, once there, blindly
obeyed instructions from the security guards to move on to a distant parking area,
beyond Hall 5. This meant that US exhibitors had to trek to Hall 4 on foot, through
the rain, cold and fog. At the same time, the labor unions called a strike on the last
day of SIAL, adding to traffic disruptions (not to mention 3 suicides on the RER
tracks during the SIAL period, which shut down RER services for several hours).
Stobbs and the USDBC SIAL Trade Team members discussed the transportation
issues at SIAL and tried to come up with a solution to the problems. SIAL is the
second largest food show in the world and it was agreed that the USDBC needs to
continue to exhibit there. The option of staying at a hotel at the Charles-de-Gaulle
airport was rejected as being too unpopular. Using the RER train system is now
accepted as being too unreliable. Therefore, the private bus system would seem to
be the least bad way to get to and from SIAL. The USDBC will encourage IMEX to
continue to offer this service in 2014 – but this time with drivers who are better
acquainted with SIAL geography, so that US exhibitors may be dropped off in front
of Hall 4. Stobbs has started discussions with IMEX on this important point.

Product Interests at SIAL
• US pinto beans got special attention at SIAL 2012, as buyers begin to

understand that red-speckled, cranberry-type beans from China are in short
supply and are rising in price.
• 9mm and 10mm garbanzo beans were the focal point for many visitors,
especially Turkish buyers.
• Chinese companies showed more serious buyer interest than ever before.
• Once again, the SIAL Trade Team members established a list to provide
general price indications for all of the different US dry legume classes displayed
at the show; this list was helpful in discussions with visitors to the booth, and to
determine their level of interest.
Industry Reception
• This activity continues to be a great success. 119 guests attended this year’s
reception (more than in previous years).
• 700 printed invitations (with RSVP reply cards) were mailed out to trade
contacts in markets all over the world.
• In future, in addition to posting invitations, Stobbs may also consider sending an
electronic version of the invitation, to help boost responses.
• A complete list of industry reception attendees is found in Appendix I of this
report, pages 12-15.

dry legume products with a visitor to the booth.

3. Exhibition Stand
The US Dry Bean Council booth was located in the US Pavilion (Hall 4), well
placed on a central crossroads.
The USDBC had the corner booth this year, adjacent to the booth of the USA Dry
Pea & Lentil Council. The two Councils shared the overall space (there was no
separating wall), which allowed for an effective use of manpower and an efficient
distribution of information materials for both organizations.
The US Pavilion Lounge, down the aisle from the USDBC booth, acted as a
meeting point for American exhibitors and their clients.

from visitors to the booth.

4. Stand representatives
The US Dry Bean Council was represented by members Judd Keller, Dennis
Engelhard, Cork Fehr and Phil Hinrichs.
David McClellan (USDBC/USADPLC representative for Spain and the

Mediterranean region) and Johanna Stobbs (USDBC/USADPLC representative for
Northern Europe, Turkey and Russia) organized and worked the booth.
The USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council was represented by Executive Director, Tim
McGreevy, and members Candice Henderson, Jeff Van Pevenage and Lynn
Virkler.
A trilingual assistant, Eminé Aygun, was hired to enter trade leads into the USDBC
database during the show.
5. Stand materials and product samples
The booth was decorated with colorful posters and a range of product samples,
which were exhibited in open bags and arranged in such a way as to attract
maximum attention. Visitors were given the latest edition of USDBC Suppliers
Directory.

6. Trade Leads
210 trade leads were entered into the USDBC database for SIAL 2012, an 11%
decrease from SIAL 2010. There were fewer trade leads this year because the
trade teams did not fill out forms for visitors who were judged to be of low-potential.
Instead, the teams focused on those visitors who were seen to be serious potential
buyers.
The US was the best performing country, followed by Italy, France and Turkey. Of
this year’s trade leads, 47 were rated as offering the highest potential for sales
(“A), with 64 rated as the second highest potential for sales (“B”).

7. Reception for the International Pulse Industry
The US Dry Bean Council hosted a reception for the international pulse trade on
Monday, October 22, in cooperation with the USA Dry Pea & Lentil Council.
Gathered together were international buyers from many countries and members of
the Executive Committee of CICILS-IPTIC (the International Pulse Trade and
Industry Confederation). Despite problems with the RER train system, this
reception was the most successful ever held at SIAL, with 119 attendees (see
attendance list in Appendix I, pages 12-15).
Bob Green, Chairman of the International Programs Committee of the US Dry

Bean Council, and Tim McGreevy, Executive Director of the USA Dry Pea & Lentil
Council, were introduced by USDBC representative Johanna Stobbs, who invited
them to say a few words of welcome.
The two-hour reception was held in the Vieux Marché restaurant at the SIAL
exhibition center. A private bus service was hired to drive guests back to Paris.

Committee, talks with Matthew McMichael, the new Purchasing Director
for H.J. Heinz. The H.J. Heinz Purchasing Department is now based in
Zeist, Netherlands. Bob Green also welcomed guests to the SIAL
industry reception on behalf of the US Dry Bean Council.

8. Outcomes
The main take-home message for SIAL 2012 is that international buyers are now
increasingly aware of changes in the levels of Chinese dry legume production and
prices. As Chinese growers gradually switch from dry beans to corn, soy and
wheat to meet domestic demand, supplies of Chinese dry legumes are decreasing,
with corresponding higher prices.
This phenomenon is driving buyers back to the US and is creating new and
exciting opportunities for US exporters. This situation includes Chinese companies
looking to buy US dry legumes.
The world is changing in ways that could not have been predicted only a few short
years ago. The dry legume market, always in a state of flux, is now turning its
attention to US production. There are signs indicating that US dry beans will
become increasingly sought after in the years to come, especially if US production
can hold steady or even increase, with US prices on a par with, or below, those of
China.
As always, SIAL (with its German counterpart, ANUGA) serves as a focal point for
the US Dry Bean Council to meet with long-term clients and to find new trade
contacts in an atmosphere which allows buyers to talk about their product needs
and to share information.
USDBC members welcomed many old friends to the SIAL 2012 booth, and met
with a good number of potential new buyers. Trade relations is an ongoing activity,
especially when dealing with a commodity in which crop production and moving
prices create ever-changing market conditions. International trade shows such as
SIAL help to keep buyers informed and to build strong commercial ties.

Also, we would appreciate your general thoughts on SIAL and our booth:
• Did the booth work well? What could be improved?

Booth worked well.
Yes, it was fine and I believe we were in a good corner location in the US
Pavilion. Our bag display showed well with the corner booth.
Yes. But needed more electrical outlets. I thought the booth was very
functional.
The booth worked well. The location was great. Hard to change anything –
could put rubber mats down behind the booth desks to help absorb the
impact of standing on concrete. The mats could be put on the pallets and
shipped around to the next trade show as well.
• US Pavilion – OK?
Pavilion OK, but I liked the old system better where there were more US
companies in the same area – although I know we benefited by being
close to China.

Yes, but I believe the environment and service in the US lounge could
have been better and more professional.
Yes.
USA Pavilion was perfect.
• Booth big enough?
Adequate
With the combined space of the USDBC and the USADPLC working
together, the space was adequate.
Yes
• Booth materials useful? Something lacking?
Need better staplers.
In particular, the USDBC Suppliers Directory was very important in
promoting the industry. Also, having it both in English and French was a
plus.
Very good. I think from the dry bean side, the bean sample card is very
valuable. The price indication list was also a good tool.
Booth materials wee perfect. We had it all and it worked well: French,
Spanish & English brochures.
• Filling out the Trade Lead forms – too complicated? Do we need to re-design
the forms? (FYI: we took in 210 trade leads, slightly fewer than in 2010).
I think the forms are complicated the way the categories are set up. I had
trouble locating varieties.
The form worked fine and allowed space for comments for better details
on the inquiry.
I think the trade lead forms are fine. It might be a useful tool to have it
available in electronic form so that one of booth members could stand
there with his or her iPad and take notes.
I understand that some companies/booths has a business card scanner;
they put customer information into the scanner and information
automatically went to a database. Maybe this system could cut the down
time of having to type in the trade lead summaries.
• How did it compare with the booths of other pulse industry exhibitors (Canada,
Australia, Turkey, Argentina, etc.)?
Other booths, such as Canada were “flashier”, but I doubt that was
necessary.
The booth was well presented compared with other pulse presentations,
such as the Chinese. We had sacks of pulses rather than the small trays
that we saw at other stands.
I thought ours was more than acceptable and competitive.
• Did the industry reception live up to your expectations? (We had 119 attendees
– more than in 2010.)
I thought the reception was on the small side.
It was a very well done event with good attendance and the opportunity to
socialize with buyers.

Yes. I was a little disappointed in our industry reps not acting more
welcoming and host-like. Maybe a pep talk in the booth, or even a mention
at the welcome dinner, would remind folks of what a great opportunity it
is to bond and show our appreciation to our customer base.
• Hotel – was the Hotel Napoleon acceptable?
The hotel was nice, but quite expensive; the rooms were terribly small,
but the beds were great.
The hotel was acceptable except for the timing of breakfast compared
with our departure time.
Yes very nice.
The hotel was fine, but I would have liked air conditioning in the room for
that price. Maybe in the future that is something that could be seriously
considered in booking a hotel.
• IMEX Bus Service to and from SIAL – did this live up to expectations?
The bus service could have been better, but it was great having it,
considering the circumstances.
It was a very convenient commute to and from the expo. Preferable to
having to use public transportation despite being on a strict schedule.
The traffic was bad. Make no mistake, the bus was good and the
communication and directions involved were outstanding.
The bus was fine and was always on time for departure to and from SIAL.
How can you fix the traffic? You can’t.
• Would you have rather caught the IMEX bus in another part of town (i.e. the
Latin Quarter) even though this would have meant a longer ride through city
traffic to reach the A1 motorway?
I would have preferred staying in another part of town rather than the
“high rent” district, although it was nice in some ways.
I’m looking more at convenience, so if hotel were located in another
location, it would be OK if it were close to a bus pick-up spot.
No, our stop was convenient.
If a hotel in another part of town could have taken us on different roads,
maybe it would be a good idea.
Would you have rather stayed at an airport hotel and avoided the drive from
Paris to SIAL altogether?
Staying at the airport would be convenient, but we want to be IN Paris,
while in Paris.
Would prefer to be located in the city with access to a greater selection of
restaurants for dinner.
At times I thought that would be good but, no, you got it just right the way
it was. Good planning!
I’m not a big tourist and did not take a day off. The airport gets my vote.
• Do you have any suggestions as to how we can better manage transportation
issues at SIAL?
Yes, stop the RER from striking!

The only problem was the SIAL drop off in the morning and not being able
to arrive at Hall 4. It needs to be arranged so that the bus is allowed each
day to stop at the US Pavilion hall location.
If we stay at the airport there won’t be any transportation issues.
• Other
SIAL name tags should have the person’s name and company in larger
and bolder print for easy recognition.
My perspective as a farmer is different than an “in the trenches” marketer.
I think I can bring to many customers the reality of agricultural production
- help explain in a very real way that we are not producing “widgets that
we can make as many or as few of as we want”. It is also incredibly
valuable to watch the marketing team do their job. That allows me to carry
back to my fellow growers the exceptional gift that we have with our
marketers and international reps, in our effort to market the beans we
grow around the world.
Who did we talk to and what did they say? We have put together statistics on the
number of visitors, the countries of origin and the varieties requested, but please
give us your ideas on what you think was most significant about:
• the trade that visited the booth

The trade visitors to the booth were quite varied in origin.
Generally the visitors to the booth were end-user canners, packagers,
some institutional buyers, as well as importers and traders.
• what they do
The visitors I saw were mostly importers/wholesalers.
The visitors facilitate the movement of pulses through the food chain
via their particular company focus.
• where they were from
I saw mostly traders from Spain and China.
Participants at the show were from North Europe/ Spain/ Italy/ Greece/
North Africa (Algeria), Portugal (sellers who work the business to
Angola) and South Africa. Many Chinese suppliers also visited, but
only to check out what we had and our prices, since they are generally
our competitors.
• what they were looking for
Garbanzos, whole green dry pea and Pardina lentils.
The main interests at this show were US Kabuli chickpeas, Great
Northern beans, some lentils, as well as good interest for green peas
to the Far East.
• how the current economic situation is affecting the pulse business
I heard more buyers asking for extended payment terms and
complaining about prices; definitely a sign of economic problems.

Even though banks have been given money to lend, it appears they
have held on to it and credit is still very tight for our worldwide buyers,
making them spot buyers versus having the financial resources to buy
larger blocks of product for the future. They can only buy what they
need today, shipped as of yesterday!

APPENDIX III
SIAL 2012 Trade Leads

October 21-25, 2012
Our industry delegates rated our SIAL trade contacts on an A through E scale.
A = Good customer of US legumes and/or key industry member
B = Good prospect as buyer of US legumes
C = Possible buyer of US legumes
D = Probably not a buyer of US legumes
E = Not a good prospect as buyer of US legumes
These notes are based on very short interviews with visitors and often lack company information.
Fortunately many firms now have websites from which you can get a better idea of a company’s
activities, size and interests. In all cases, exporters should confirm the credentials of new trading
partners before entering into contracts.
