Meet the Buyers — from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines
Meet the Buyers — from Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines
An ASEAN buyers’ team will be in the new USMEF headquarters on Friday, Sept. 25. Led by USMEF ASEAN Director Sabrina Yin, the team will consist of three buyers from Singapore, three from the Philippines, and one each from Thailand and Vietnam.
The buyers from the Philippines buy for processors, traditional market distributors and the foodservice sector. Most processors in the Philippines prefer to buy from importers to maintain their cash flow.
The buyers from Singapore are sourcing raw material for further processing as well as “heat and serve” foodservice items. Two large-scale integrated resorts are opening next year.
The Thai buyer’s company supplies cruise ships and the up-scale foodservice sector.
The Vietnamese buyer mainly services the Korean and Japanese foodservice sector, one of the top consumers of U.S. beef in Vietnam.
Members wishing to meet the buyers should contact Hilary Rohr at 303-623-6328 or hrohr@usmef.org.
