Programs & Activities - Focused Trade Missions

Food Export – Midwest and Food Export – Northeast offer the opportunity to participate in Focused Trade Missions throughout the year. This service offers U.S. companies both a sales opportunity and educational experience. 

The missions bring a group of U.S. companies to a country to learn first-hand about the market and meet face-to-face with local buyers. It’s an organized trip with services that help navigate a different culture and assist with business meetings. It provides a unique opportunity to travel to a target market not affiliated with a tradeshow. In some instances, an additional city in an adjacent country may be added to the mission.

The services provided vary, but generally include the following:

• Retail and Distributor Market Research
• Market Briefings
• One-on-One Meetings
• Retail Tours
• Table Top Show and Reception
• Transportation Coordination
• Interpretation
• Importation of Samples into the Target Market
