Features
The European Union: Mega-Market for U.S.
Consumer Foods
From Spain to Sweden, from Ireland to Austria, U.S. exporters are
racking up new records in a market that's mature, high-income and
niche-oriented.
Austrian Pets Hunger for Quality U.S. Pet Foods
Austrians are taking in more four-footed friends, and U.S.
pet food suppliers have perked up their ears.
Exporters Keep an Eye on Egypt
Let the Sphinx puzzle over this: While no single supplier
dominates the Egyptian market, Egypt's the ninth largest market
for U.S. agricultural exports.
South Korea, a Booming Market for U.S. Wine Exports
Only recently has it been possible to crack this market, but U.S.
wines are now so popular that some vendors can't keep them
in stock.
Venezuelan Consumers Count on Pulse Imports
With diets changing little in the past 10 years, beans remain a
staple of the Venezuelan market.
Trinidad and Tobago: Island Market for U.S. Exports|
Ongoing trade liberalization in this export haven promises
renewed growth, especially for U.S. consumer-ready foods.
Supermarkets Catch On in Moldova
As this former Soviet republic achieves economic stability,
Western-style grocery shopping is where the food retailing action
is.
