“Belgian food industry still sees growth potential in US”

Although the corona epidemic has severely halted exports of Belgian food to the United States, the United States is still our country’s most important export destination, well worth the revenue of மில்லியன் 700 million. Feria reports this to the United States following the economic work of HRH Princess Astrid and thirty food companies.

Exports of Belgian food and beverages to the United States grew from 9 459 million in 2014 to 4 764 million in 2019, an increase of 66% over 5 years. This makes the US market the most important long-distance export destination for the Belgian food industry after the United Kingdom. A good growth controlled by the corona crisis. To change this trend, thirty food companies will be accompanying HRH Princess Astrid on an economic tour of the United States from June 4 to 12. Under Favia’s leadership, they liaise with buyers in New York and Rhode Island, a reputed company for food innovation and a business archive that introduces foreign brands to the US market.

“The Belgian food industry continues to grow in the United States,” Favia said. “For example, our frozen vegetable and potato products are expected to grow by a limited amount of 87 million euros by 2021 by 2021. In addition, American consumers know how to taste our chocolate products, cookies and beers.” Beer makers such as Verhaeghe-Vichte, Val-Dieu, De Halve Maan, De Brunehaut and Neobulles will also travel to further expand their export potential.
