This webinar will provide a high-level overview of the United Kingdom as a key market for U.S. food and agricultural exports. It will examine current market conditions, consumer trends, and regulatory considerations shaping trade between the U.S. and the UK. Participants will gain insight into demand for U.S. products, distribution channels, and opportunities across retail, foodservice, and ingredient sectors.
While the webinar is designed with New England states and their food and agricultural companies in mind—highlighting opportunities and resources particularly relevant to the region—it is open to companies from all U.S. states that are interested in exploring or expanding their presence in the UK market.
We will also take a look at the upcoming Product Showcase at the London Food and Drink Shows, including Lunch!, the National Restaurant, Pub & Bar Show, and the Natural & Organic Food Show in September 2026, and discuss how participating companies can leverage these events to connect with UK buyers.
