When you see a sign "Eat with spoon" on products (mostly edible), you know that this product is produced in Latvia. It is part of a marketing campaign to promote Latvian products. No surprise it is on the top of the building where ministry of Agriculture is seated. The drawback is that it costs a lot to acquire it. It would be much more beneficial if local products would be able to participate just by covering the institutional costs of certifying the product and the annual renewal by checking if everything is up to the standard.
Many Latvian as well as international participants are exhibiting in Riga Food 2008 which is taking place in Kipsala exhibition hall.

Last weekend there were two exhibitions in Kipsala international exhibition centre. Baltic Boat Show together with Motorcycle 2008. This particular hall is for yachts, boats and marine recreational vehicles, so to speak. The super fast motor boat was presented as well. They say that half a million dollars worthy boat has found customers in Baltics already five or six times.
Another day I went to the exhibition "The process of good architecture" where I found physical 3D model of Riga present, under construction (u/c) and planned buildings and structures. The blue ones are either planned, approved or u/c on left bank of river Daugava - locally called Pārdaugava.
