Food Export Buyers Missions are Unique, Curated Experiences that Maximize Your Time and Investment

Food Export-Midwest will be hosting the Foodservice Buyers Mission in partnership with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) at the 2025 National Restaurant Association Show. As the largest foodservice event in the Western Hemisphere, the NRA Show is an invaluable resource for foodservice and hospitality professionals.

This Buyers Mission is an ideal venue for suppliers in the foodservice industry, as well as the beer, wine and spirits industries. Participants will meet with pre-qualified buyers from around the world in pre-arranged, one-on-one meetings right here in the U.S., generate new sales leads, and build relationships with key industry players!

Register early as meeting slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
