The exhibitors in the USA Pavilion included 10 companies, 2 FAS cooperator groups (USAPEEC and USMEF), and one regional trade association, the Southern United States Trade Association (SUSTA). FAS/Pretoria staff provided support to the U.S. exhibitors at IFEA in a number of different ways, including recruiting young South African entrepreneurs as booth assistants and organizing a business networking breakfast. As a result of the show, U.S. exhibitors secured export opportunities that included 60 serious contacts, $225,000 in on-site sales, and almost $1.7 million in projected sales over the 12 months following the show.
