Maximize Your Return-on-Investment with Our Trade Events
Are you an exporter looking for ways to expand your business and increase your profits? Look no further than trade events like our annual USAPEEC Americas Expo.
On November 19th and 20th, 2019, the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council conducted its first “USAPEEC Americas Expo” at the Hilton Hotel in Cartagena, Colombia, thanks to ATP funding and support from the National Turkey Federation (NTF) and the United Soybean Board (USB). This event brought together more than 80 importers from across the Caribbean, Central America, and South America with 27 different exporting companies from the United States through technical seminars, a trade show, and a trade reception. The result? Stronger trade relationships, enhanced product portfolios, and exciting new export opportunities with U.S. chicken, turkey, duck and eggs.
Take the example of Angleton Group, an importer from Colombia. Thanks to the USAPEEC Americas Expo, they were able to meet with several USAPEEC exporters and increase their imported product portfolio, buying from more U.S exporters. In fact, they imported 67% more U.S. chicken from January-April 2020 than they did during the same period in 2019.
Or consider La Unica, an importer and processor from El Salvador. Through the USAPEEC Americas Expo, they met with Case Farms and discovered the benefits of using U.S. chicken meat as raw material for their products, such as their ham and chorizo. In addition to being more competitive in pricing than local products, the U.S. chicken meat also improved the flavor, texture, and color of La Unica's products. Due to the product’s success, La Unica began to use U.S. chicken meat as raw material in two new products: chicken chorizo and ground meat.
The benefits of attending trade events such as our USAPEEC Americas Expo are clear. Not only do they provide an opportunity for South and Central American and Caribbean importers to discover new products and services, they also offer them the chance to meet face-to-face with potential suppliers. This type of personal connection is essential in building trust and establishing a solid foundation for doing business together.
