05/07/2019
The US Meat Export Federation (USMEF) held its ninth annual Latin American Product Showcase in San Juan, Puerto Rico from June 26-27. Buyers from 23 countries across the Caribbean, Central America and South America attended. 

It served as an opportunity for 64 of the organisation’s member companies to promote their beef, pork and lamb products. There were also a number of presentations, which covered topics such as emerging market opportunities and the impact of plant-based alternatives on meat producers.

Following the event, USMEF president and CEO Dan Halstrom, celebrated the success of the event, describing the showcase as “one of the most impactful things we do at USMEF to help advance trade in this region”.

He added that across the two days there had been discussions with companies from new markets, to go alongside those with more established customers.
