The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) recently led an agribusiness trade mission to Angola (Feb. 26-29). Included in the delegation was USMEF Africa Representative Matt Copeland, who participated through support from the Beef Checkoff Program.  

Copeland praises Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Xochitl Torres Small and Mark Slupek, deputy administrator of global programs for the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), for their guidance and leadership during the trade mission. He also discusses opportunities in the Angolan market for U.S. beef and pork, noting that one of the challenges is to properly educate buyers about the quality attributes that differentiate U.S. red meat from its competitors.
