Denver — Thirteen producers will be traveling to Europe March 11-18 as part of a U.S. Meat Export Federation-sponsored Europe Market Expo.

USMEF invites you to participate in this exciting and rewarding experience. Here is your chance to ask questions of local producers about European markets, the production and processing facilities and the export outlook for Europe.

The producer-oriented trip includes a trip to Budapest, Warsaw and London for a firsthand look at the markets, the competition, the export opportunities and current USMEF activities.

We are inviting you to call the producers on the following list both before and after the trip. They will be available to share their expectations, perceptions and evaluations of the various markets and production and processing facilities they visit in Eastern and Western Europe. Don’t miss this excellent opportunity to garner a firsthand outlook on an important foreign market.
