"As a member of the Food Export Branded Program we have enjoyed the benefits that the program and activities that the Food Export team have brought on to support our export activities and efforts. Through the Branded Program our export trade shows and networking events were covered by Food Export. This is a wonderful relief and assistance we were able to receive and a strong encouragement for us to continue to explore international opportunities and for the Buyer Missions we have been able to participate for the past few years. Especially during the last two years when traveling and having in person meetings were impossible. The virtual missions allowed us to keep and maintain our connections with buyers across the world and our presence in front of our international customers too. Thank you for the support and continuous assistance from the Food Export program.”
