The US Meat Export Federation recently hosted two US beef tastings at the well-regarded Nguni Bar and Grill, in Accra, Ghana. The 64 participants included professional chefs, restaurant owners and operators, food influencers and corporate banking relationship executives who work with hotels and hospitality businesses. Over two evenings, they were treated to US brisket, and sirloin, ribeye and T-bone steaks.

The two-night event helps build on momentum generated by USMEF’s trade mission to Accra in 2025, said Chad Carney, USMEF Africa marketing manager.

“The tasting sessions showcased the quality, versatility and culinary appeal of premium US beef cuts while strengthening engagement with key stakeholders in Ghana’s food service and hospitality industry,” Carney said. “Representatives from USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service were also in attendance, underscoring the importance of the engagement.”

Carney also highlighted the generous donation of US beef for the event by Nebraska Beef Council.

Funding support was provided by the Beef Checkoff Program and USDA’s Regional Agricultural Promotion Program.
