As part of its continuous effort to maximize U.S. agricultural exports, FAS Manila teamed up with local importers of U.S. meat products and Center Table Catering to showcase U.S. fine food and beverage products at the “2018 Great American Barbecue” trade reception hosted by the Deputy Chief of Mission Michael Klecheski at his residence. Media coverage extended the reach of the event. More than 150 guests came from hotels, restaurants and food franchisees, U.S. Embassy and members of the press. Despite stiff competition, exports of U.S. food and beverage products are expected to reach a record $1 billion by the end of the year.
