Five-Year Branded Program Participant Sees Continued Export Success

Located in South Portland, Maine, in the 1st Congressional District, resides Belle Cove LLC a five-year participant of Food Export-Northeast's Branded Program.

This company strategically located itself in Maine, USA, where the cold, clean ocean waters and rocky coastline produce some of the highest quality seafood in North America. This company has committed to providing quality products and services that continuously exceed the high standards of consumers.

2020 marked Belle Cove’s fifth year participating in Food Export-Northeast’s Branded Program. Although last year was a bit different due to the COVID pandemic, and the company was not able to use the program as planned, Belle Cove was still able to report $200,000 in actual export sales to Taiwan with the help of Food Export-Northeast. This was a first-time export sale to this market for this company, despite the challenges brought on by 2020.

In addition to Branded Program participation over the last few years, this Maine supplier has also been an active participant in many other Food Export-Northeast programs and services. Participation for Belle Cove includes Export Essentials modules,the Online Product Catalog, webinars, Food Show PLUS!™ events, Buyers Missions, Virtual Connect, and Virtual Trade Missions.
