Jamaica is sending a sizeable delegation to next month’s Americas Food & Beverage Show in Miami.

The show and conference, slated for September 18-20, is the meeting point for decision makers from throughout the hemisphere and the world. It is organised annually by the World Trade Center Miami for more than 25 years.

In the meantime, “the US Department of Agriculture is inviting all interested buyers/importers of agricultural food products to join the Jamaican delegation at the Americas Food & Beverage Show in Miami – Sept. 18-20, 2023,” the US Embassy posted on the social media site X, formerly named Twitter.

There will be over 600 exhibitors, buyers from more than 50 countries and 245.000 sq. ft. of exhibition space at the event, where 50 per cent of the show attendees are decision makers ensuring that the Americas Food & Beverage Show & Conference represents the ideal forum for meeting customers, vendors/service providers, suppliers, distributors and industry experts.

The event is only open to the food and beverage industry, making this an exclusively B2B (business to business) affair. Attendees of the show are there looking for new and innovative products to source, add to their store shelves, menus, and to wow their clients.

The World Trade Center Miami is a member of the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA) which is the preeminent global trade organisation promoting two-way trade.

The WTCA is a network of more than 300 highly connected, mutually supporting businesses and organisations in 92 countries – supported by 15,000 WTC professionals with a total membership of two million corporate members and associates.
