USMEF Latin American Product Showcase returns to Panama

26/07/2016
The sixth edition of the US Meat Export Federation (USMEF) Latin American Product Showcase took place from July 20 to 21 in Panama City, Panama. It marked a return to the city where the event first took place in 2011.

The 2016 edition of the event saw 42 USMEF member companies exhibit their red meat products to 120 buyers from 14 countries. There were opportunities for exporters to hold one-on-one meetings with potential buyers to discuss their specific needs as well educational sessions explaining the positive attributes of US red meat. The sessions also emphasised the opportunities of some underused pork and beef cuts.

Those in attendance at the event agreed that recent free trade agreements, including the Central America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) as well as bilateral agreements with Chile, Peru, Colombia and Panama, are helping the growth of red meat exports to Latin America.
