Have you ever considered expanding your beverage market to reach 95 percent of the global marketplace? Beverage industry buyers from Brazil, China, Japan, Poland, Singapore and the United Kingdom are coming to North Carolina to meet beer, cider, wine and spirits producers. The buyers will tour production facilities throughout the state and have the opportunity to initiate business with local producers.

Two receptions are also planned to facilitate business introductions between buyers and local beverage producers. These receptions are perfect for those curious about exporting. Receptions will be held in Raleigh on Monday, May 23, and Asheville on Thursday, May 26. If your company is interested in hosting a production facility tour or attending one of the receptions to meet the buyers, contact Jacy Barnes at jacy.barnes@ncagr.gov or 919-707-3149. Deadline to register for these events is Thursday, May 12, at 5 p.m.
