Food & Beverage Atlantic is working in partnership with the four Atlantic Provinces and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities to facilitate a program for export-ready food and beverage companies in the natural food category.

This program offers support to companies interested in exporting to the US:

• Meet one-on-one with in-market consultant to discuss your current export capacity and growth plans
• Based on export readiness, companies may take part in arranged meetings with vetted buyers in the US seeking products in the natural foods category.
• Follow up with consultant and Food & Beverage Atlantic representatives to discuss next steps.

This program will also serve as good preparation for any company that may want to participate in the 2023 Natural Food Expo Show.

Industry Survey

Do you export? Do you plan on exporting? If so, we invite you to participate in our Food & Beverage Atlantic Industry Survey on Export-Related Planning! Help us help you by providing insight into your current goals, challenges and priorities for exporting outside of Canada. All information collected will be used confidentially by the four Atlantic Provinces, ACOA and FBA, for planning purposes and export projects for the next four years. We ask you to take 20 minutes and fill out this survey before February 1st, 2023. This will help us identify the shows, programs, or support you need to start exporting or expand to new markets!
