Hi All,

Just wanted to reiterate Susan\'s message and let you know that this is
a great event, especially for Rural Export Clients just dipping their
toes into the international market. She speaks from experience, after
attending a previous show and having 2 clients participate. CS Canada
and Richard Vinson do a super job when it comes to hand holding, so
actively promote this program if it fits your client base.

WH Team Members. A great opportunity for your small gift producers. No
language issues and Richard holds hands too. I had two companies in the
Spring Show on very short notice and one did well. Worth our promoting I
think.

Dear Sir,

Greetings from the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce, Mumbai, India.

It gives us great pleasure to introduce AmFest 2004. The first in a
series of annual trade events. The Indo-American Chamber of Commerce
(IACC) was established in 1968 to promote bi-lateral trade and commerce
between India and the United States. It is the only Indo-US bilateral
chamber which is in the forefront of inviting foreign investments and
assisting Indian companies to locate joint venture partners allied with
US businesses and networking with affiliate offices in the US.

IACC is embarking on the mission of boosting U.S exports into India by
holding AmFest, exposition cum socio-cultural festival of American
consumer products and culture. The trade fest will commence on the 3rd
of June and culminate on the 5th of June at Taj Land\'s End, Mumbai,
India . A grand cultural event will be held on the 6th June. The focus
of AmFest is to provide a platform for small and medium American
enterprises to build long lasting, productive relationships with
potential Indian traders for the stocking, retail and distribution of
their products. This unique event will showcase various American
consumer goods (foods, beverages, wines, cosmetics and beauty &
healthcare products etc) that will provide a window of opportunity to US
exporters, manufacturers etc., interested in tapping into the Indian
market and will also serve as an excellent venue for fruitful
interaction between American companies and potential Indian importers,
retailers, etc! .

AmFest is supported by the Southern United States Trade Association
(SUSTA) and Alabama International Trade Center from U.S.A and Foreign
Agriculture Service (USDA) India. Star News is the television media
partner, Rediff.com is the online partner for AmFest and Radio City FM
is the radio partner.

A seminar would be conducted on the first day of the event. Titled
\"Trade Insights\" this would throw light on a host of trade related
matters. The speakers would be highly distinguished individuals from a
variety of disciplines.

The 3 days of the trade fest would be interspersed with a host of other
events. Ranging from paper shows to art display to lip smacking
delicacies whipped up by expert chefs and a Hollywood film every evening
to complete the experience. The highlight of the fest would be the grand
cultural show to be held on the 6th of June. This would showcase
snapshots of the American culture which would be followed by cocktails.

India, home to over a billion people, is a fast growing, thriving
nation. According to a very recent World Bank report, the sustained
upswing in the Indian economy in 2003 has been instrumental in fuelling
a surge in South Asian regional growth. The prospects for the year 2004
are bright and it is expected that Indian economic progress will
continue on its upward trajectory.

Mumbai is a bustling metropolis and India\'s commercial capital. Over 10
million people reside in this multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, vibrant
city. Mumbai is home to several of India\'s most accomplished citizens
in diverse areas including business and the arts. India\'s burgeoning
middle-class, highly accentuated in Mumbai, has exhibited high
propensity to consume a wide array of goods and services and several
large global brands have met with tremendous success in this market.

It is against this backdrop that the Indo American Chamber of Commerce
\[IACC\] will host AmFest, a three day long consumer products exposition
cum trade fair for the US small and medium enterprises (SME\'s). IACC is
optimistic that an event of this nature will provide a fillip to US
exports into India and thereby create more productive commercial ties
between the two economies. The exposition is focused on bringing
American consumer goods closer to the Indian people thereby helping
bridge the trade and commerce gap.

IACC believes that this is an ideal time for American companies to tap
into the ever growing Indian market directly. This is an unprecedented
opportunity for you to make direct contact with Indian trade and end
consumers and ascertain their response to your products. Being at AmFest
will also provide you with a platform to seal distribution and marketing
alliances. This is the opportunity for you to test the waters, first
hand and experience the magic of India.

**The objectives of this initiative are:**

> To facilitate a deeper understanding of the Indian market and its
> dynamics
>
> To present an opportunity for on-the-ground interaction between the
> SMEs and possible Indian partners
>
> To promote direct interaction between SMEs and Indian end-consumers
>
> To open up collaboration opportunities and facilitate discussions on
> possible franchising /distribution arrangements

**For this exposition, IACC will focus on the fast moving consumer goods
segment. More specifically, the segments targeted will be food &
beverages, beauty care, fitness products, toys, fashion, and car
accessories. The broad format of the event is:**

> A trade show and expo for display of American product and services.
> While this will primarily be targeted at the business community, it
> will also be open to the general public for a limited number of hours
> each day.
>
> A seminar focused on \"Trade Insights\", which will feature basic
> rules for business, tax structures, the Indian demographic profile,
> and other relevant information.
>
> One to one buyer-seller meets.
>
> A cultural festival is also planned simultaneous to the expo, to bring
> in a very real flavour of the \"American experience\"
>
> A poster show portraying American musicians ,artists and historical
> moments of the nation.
>
> A food fest of fine culinary displays by some very popular and expert
> Chefs from New Orleans and Mumbai.
>
> An art display by an American and Indian artist will be working in
> progress over a common theme to create a collage of individual
> expressions.
>
> A film screening every evening to experience the Hollywood mania.

Dear Value Added Food Clients

(also cc to Joe, Paul, and Linda at TN Dept of Ag, also Jim and Shana at
SUSTA \-- also partners Phil and Blair)

Though I am stopping in the office only briefly today, I noticed this
great flyer compliments of colleague Ruby Sirna of our Kansas City
office. Thought it could benefit some of our TN value-added food
exporters, especially those clients whom you know with plans for **FMI
2004 in Chicago.**

With **Free Appointments** to meet the **US Ag Marketing Specialists
from 18 countries** (including one great collaborative Commerce
Department Specialist from Barbados), FMI is gearing up to be an
exceptionally great event this year.

If interested, complete the attached flyer. If you need more info,
