Ghana: Accra hosts USA food pairing event

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   GH2024-0001
U.S. wine, poultry, rice, and beef are gaining in popularity as the Ghanaian HRI industry looks to expand their offerings to attract more hi-end business. To generate enthusiasm and create demand for these U.S. products, the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) in Accra hosted a U.S. wine tasting and food pairing event featuring U.S. wines, poultry, rice, and beef to leading importers, distributors, and hotel and restaurant stakeholders. This activity was an investment and generated strong interest for U.S. products that are available in Ghana but can be hard to find.
