Wonderful Pistachios heads to Singapore with cracking new listings


With a bowl-full of listings now secured, Paramount Farms is heading to TFWA Asia Pacific Conference & Exhibition with a busy appointments calendar for viewing of its Wonderful Pistachios™ brand (stand B28).

New listings in the Middle East and Asia Pacific regions have been confirmed with Qatar Duty Free; IDFS Egypt; and Fiji through Motibhai.

This has been further boosted by an excellent week at the Duty Free Show of the Americas where listings were confirmed with Hudson News through 199 stores, Saveria at JFK for the redevelopment of T4; and International Shoppes. .

We had a lot of very positive interest during the Orlando week, particularly from the Caribbean region,” says Paramount Farms Sales Director for Global Travel Retail, James Kfouri.

“‘We have been really pleased with the reaction to the Wonderful brand, the packs and the merchandising support and are confident that the wave of listings will continue to grow after the TFWA Asia Pacific show, added Kfouri. “Clearly there is a strong growing consumer interest in the convenient snack nut category, with travel retail exclusive packs proving a strong driver of sales. Combine that with the power of the global Wonderful Pistachios brand and you have a healthy win for consumers and our retailer partners.”

At the Singapore Show, Wonderful Pistachios™ will be showing its travel retail exclusive packs which include two pack sizes: a 300g pack of best-selling Wonderful Roasted & Salted pistachios and a 275g pack of award-winning Wonderful Salt & Pepper pistachios, both carrying recommended retail prices of US$11.00. Both are offered in resealable premium-look stand up pouches and carry a global travel retail exclusive logo. In addition, there is a travel retail version of the existing 510g gift bag which includes a hang-tag with multi-lingual nutrition and ingredients details. With its bold contemporary look, Wonderful Pistachios™ appeals to a sophisticated, health-conscious consumer.



Currently the No. 1 snack nut brand in the US and sold in more than 30 countries around the globe, the Wonderful Pistachios™ brand is now making its mark in travel retail. The company has set up a dedicated travel retail website for the brand at: www.wonderfulpistachios.com/travelretail
