“Peterfood is a good example of a regional trade show that allows us to share information about U.S. pork and beef with representatives from outside of this area’s large population centers,” said USMEF St. Petersburg Manager Yuri Barutkin. “This event reaches a very wide audience of potential customers from the region’s HR (hotel, restaurant and institutional), retail and meat processing sectors, and we were able to deliver valuable information about the advantages U.S. pork and beef have to offer.”
