Hong Kong importers tour US beef and pork production
Hong Kong importers tour beef and pork operations in Illinois and Nebraska, meet with suppliers and experience US red meat in restaurant settings.
The US Meat Export Federation brought a team of 11 importers from Hong Kong to the US to learn about beef and pork production, meet with suppliers and experience the versatility of US beef and pork at a variety of restaurants.
USMEF Hong Kong Senior Marketing Manager Tonia Lai and Retail Manager Reese Liu led the team to Chicago where they visited nearby Trim-Rite Foods before meeting with National Beef at Remington’s Restaurant. The team also had dinner at Rosebud Steakhouse, which serves Meats by Linz, a USMEF member.
In Nebraska, the team toured the Wholestone Prestage plant in Freemont before visiting a small cow-calf operation and a feedyard in West Point. They also toured the Tyson Foods plant in Madison and the JBS plant in Grand Island.
Dave Bruntz, USMEF chair-elect, and Ann Bruntz joined the team for a farewell dinner at 801 Chophouse in Omaha.
The trade team was made possible through the Beef Checkoff Program and the National Pork Board.
