Exhibiting

American Food Fair (AFF) continues to offer exhibitors new perspectives on the global marketplace. Our goal is to help you arrange high value meetings at a reasonable cost and to provide the background information you need to make intelligent decisions when pursuing international opportunities. NASDA, working with our partners at the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and four State Regional Trade Groups (SRTGs), will continue to offer pre-show and on-site export assistance, information and programs. AFF attracts international attendees from every continent in the world. Many AFF exhibitors have found AFF to be a perfect segue to other programs offered through FAS and the SRTGs. AFF at NRA is a great way for you to explore the growing number of opportunities and learn about overcoming the challenges of export sales.

State Pavilions
The pavilions sponsored by the State Departments of Agriculture will play an essential role in the 2010 American Food Fair.  The State Departments of Agriculture actively recruit export-ready companies from their states. Companies exhibiting in state-sponsored pavilions enjoy the extra benefits that many states provide, which often include subsidizing expenses; providing additional promotional opportunities; supplying special state-specific decor; providing furniture, accessories, drayage, cleaning, and more.

Exhibit Planner
The AFF Exhibitor List provides foreign buyers with contact information of qualified U.S. Suppliers of Agricultural products. Buyers use this service to find U.S. companies that their business requires, and use the features available herein to contact suppliers directly to establish a time to get together at the show.  The Exhibit Planner is free and easy to use enabling buyers to review exhibitors, research information on specific manufacturers, plan their visits to exhibits and follow up with business prospects.

  "Year in and year out, the show keeps getting better for us. That’s why we keep coming back…the variety of potential customers that come here from all different areas of the country and internationally is what we’re looking for. "

  "When we did the show last year we weren’t in food service! We were in the supermarket business for eight years but decided to give AFF a shot. The programs that AFF sets up for exhibitors, to make it more financially feasible, is a major reason we were able to get into international exports as well."
