It's where a good idea can really catch fire and catapult a company into the international arena. Excitement is building for the 2001 U.S. Food Export Showcase, which kicks off May 6 as part of the FMI Supermarket Industry Convention and Educational Exposition. This year's Showcase is expected to include over thirty five state pavilions featuring the products of nearly four hundred food manufacturers from every corner of the U.S. in virtually every product category. Four new state pavilions will be added to the 2001 Showcase including Connecticut, Arkansas, Maine, and Vermont. The U.S. Food Export Showcase provides a look at the entrepreneurial side of the U.S. food industry today that no other trade show or trade fair can match.
All products are top quality and ready for international markets.
With ninety six percent of the world's consumers outside U.S. borders, interest in exporting remains high. The U.S. Food Export Showcase helps buyers and sellers develop the personal relationships that are crucial for international success. By teaming up with their state departments of agriculture, small and mid-size food manufacturers are able to gain access to influential food buyers around the world. Through its offices in U.S. Embassies and Agricultural Trade Offices around the world, FAS organizes many international buyer delegations to attend the show. FAS continues to provide support throughout the show.
