Nigerian buyers and importers would be able to connect with approximately 100 American exhibitors spanning food, pulses and grains, meat and poultry goods, according to Gerald Smith, Counselor for Agricultural Affairs, US Mission Nigeria.
He explained that the Gulfood Show and trade mission will present Nigerian delegates with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and network “one-on-one” with some of the world’s top decision-makers in the food industry who are looking to connect and do business with international partners.
“The Foreign Agricultural Service stands ready to welcome Nigerian buyers to this opportunity to meet with high-quality American exporters,” Smith added. “Participants will learn about new products and suppliers while keeping up with the current food and beverage industry trends.”
Dairy products, frozen chicken, chilled and frozen red meat, fresh fruit, snack foods, confectionary, packaged foods, dried fruit and tree nuts, potatoes, wine, beer, and fisheries products are among the market opportunities at the Gulfood Show.
The Gulfood Fair is said to be Africa’s and the Middle East’s largest American-focused food and beverage trade show.
