USMEF Promotes U.S. Pork In Vladivostok
USMEF featured U.S. pork during the Primorye Culinary Festival during the Vladivostok International Show Sept. 7-9.
Seventy percent of the nearly 9,000 who attend the festival were HRI professionals, including owners, managers and chefs. In cooperation with the U.S. Agricultural Trade Office and 60 participating companies, USMEF worked with nine companies to conduct training master classes attended by more than 800 people. In addition, Consul General, Far East, Tom Armbruster participated in the festival welcome ceremony.
USMEF conducted a three-course U.S. pork master class with Sergey Klimenko, one of the famous chefs in Vladivostok, host of the weekly television show Silver Fork. He cooked U.S. pork and arugula salad with ginger dressing, U.S. pork tenderloin with goose liver, mushrooms and shaving slices of potato and U.S. pork riblets in hot marinade.
Class participants not only enjoyed the taste of U.S. pork, but actively took part in the session with comments, questions and feedback. This two-hour master class was considered to be spectacular and very interesting by the 50 chefs attending, according to USMEF Manager, Moscow and CIS Countries Galina Kochubeeva, who was interviewed by the Vladivostok Times on the Russian market for U.S. meat.
In addition to the master classes, USMEF provided U.S. pork information materials, met sponsors of the show, local meat product producers, importers and exporters of U.S. meat to Russia and met with Armbruster.
Vladivostok, one of Russia’s biggest cities, is located on the far eastern coast and is the center of a market that has been developing very rapidly over the last few years. In addition to its growing market potential and increasing demand for high product quality, Vladivostok will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in 2012.
Through July, 44,893 metric tons (mt) of U.S. pork and pork variety meat had been exported to Russia; exports were valued at more than $93 million.
