In partnership with the Specialty Food Association (SFA), Food Export will be conducting a Specialty Food Buyers Mission at the Winter FancyFaire!
The first industry event of the year for specialty food, SFA’s reimagined Winter FancyFaire brings together tastemakers from retail, distribution, and foodservice to set the tone for the year ahead. This event will offer proven models for brand-buyer connections alongside opportunities for networking and sampling, community events, and local immersion. Be there as the specialty food community kickstarts the annual trends cycle by unveiling key consumer insights, industry projections, and more.
This Specialty Food Buyers Mission is a great low-cost opportunity to meet one-on-one with pre-qualified buyers from around the globe who have expressed interest in specialty and gourmet products from the United States.
