#ICYMI | The #SummerFancyFoodShow presents lucrative export opportunities for local exporters. Wesgro, in partnership with USAID and Prosper Africa, led a delegation of #MadeInTheCape exporters to the United States, to take part in the Summer Fancy Food Show. A culinary “melting pot” for global sellers, buyers, food service companies, distributors, industry affiliates, and investors – the speciality food market is growing and valued at $207bn, accounting for 22% of all food sales. The #SummerFancyFoodShow has become the largest specialty trade only-food event in North America. With the United States being a top export market for Cape Town and the Western Cape, the event provided a launchpad for local seller's to expand their US footprint into a potentially lucrative market. #Wesgro #CapeConfidence #MadeInTheCape #SummerFancyFoodShow #AfricanFineFoods Western Cape Government City of Cape Town Erica Joubert Melonie Grunewald
