USMEF Leads Month-Long U.S. Food Festival

With USMEF taking the lead, United Tastes of America, the largest multi-cooperator based U.S. food promotion ever held in Hong Kong, launched today (June 5) with a ceremony at the Hong Kong Conrad Hotel.

“USMEF is pleased to coordinate this event as its timing coincides with our efforts to reinvigorate U.S. beef sales following the re-entry of U.S. beef to the Hong Kong market earlier this year,” said Joel Haggard, USMEF senior vice president, Asia Pacific.

United Tastes of America is a month-long consumer food festival highlighting to Hong Kong consumers the availability of high quality American agricultural products, such as U.S. beef and pork, through retail promotion at Wellcome, Hong Kong’s leading supermarket chain, and Oliver’s The Delicatessen.

“The festival gives us a chance to promote a range of branded U.S. processed meat products at Wellcome where U.S. meat has a strong presence,” said John Lam, USMEF Hong Kong regional program manager.

Special U.S. food tasting menus at more than 20 participating restaurants will supplement the retail effort. Funded by the USDA Global Based Initiative, the festival aims at boosting sales of U.S. red meat and a variety of other U.S. foodstuffs.
