With Chef Mongiello on board, there will be a re-write of the concept of the website. This directory, called the US Supplier List program is accessible through a new Buying US Products section accessible in the FAS Home Page which will be promoted to overseas buyers and importers. A vertical produce site offering buyers and sellers either supplier postings of fixed cost or excess items as well as buyer reverse bid request for quotes. Carries USDA reports. Good site for linking for more technical information on baking, beverages, etc.
