Chile: RTM Natural Products Expo East 2015
Post recruited five Chilean organic & natural products importers to the Natural Product Expo East (NPEE) Show 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland to develop trade opportunities. Participants had a supermarket tour to gain firsthand knowledge of the U.S. industry. They visited places like Whole Foods, Mom’s Organic Market, Walmart and Wegmans. Also, Post’s accompanying LES developed new contacts as well for AgSantiago. Post activity resulted in US$30,000 sales after the mission, where 10 new U.S. products were introduced in the Chilean market. Projected sales increase during the next 12 months as result of the mission will be US$118,000.
