2022 WUSATA Mexico Outbound Mission to Mexico City & Monterrey With Buyers from Central America

~ December 4 - 9, 2022 ~

Exports from the United States of agricultural and related products to Mexico totaled $26.5 billion in 2022. Mexico is still one of the largest and most consistent markets for U.S. agricultural products. With the geographical advantage of a long land border and a new Foreign Trade Agreement that has eliminated duties on all agricultural and food products, Mexico is a natural market for U.S. exporters.

In addition to meeting with Mexican buyers, WUSATA participants will have the opportunity to meet with Central American buyers. Central American retail buyers will be flown into Mexico City to participate in the two-day conference/meetings between WUSATA companies and the category buyers of leading retailers in the region. Each participating WUSATA company will have tailored business meetings to showcase products to potential buyers. Business meetings will also be combined with networking events and speakers highlighting U.S. trends in the featured product category.

• Meet one-on-one with pre-qualified buyers, importers, distributors, and food/beverage directors
