The 2008 International Poultry Expo (IPE) and the International Feed Expo (IFE) will be part of the US Department of Commerce’s International Buyer Program.
Under this program, the department’s US Commercial Service recruits foreign
buyer delegations from US embassies abroad and takes them to trade shows in the
US to facilitate matchmaking with American businesses who are exhibiting at the
show.
The IBP enables US companies who are interested in exporting to
meet with potential sales representatives and strategic partners without ever
leaving the country.
