On Wednesday, USRPA participated in The American Experience Showcase at the Hacienda de Los Miranda in San Salvador. The event was organized by Sabor USA, a community that represents more than 50 American trade associations with the support of USDA. Presided by Marcela Rondon, USDA Regional Agricultural Advisor, The American Experience included the participation of several USDA cooperators, who joined 16 Salvadoran importers trading in the food and hospitality sectors. The goal of this event was to create a space to establish synergies and business opportunities between Salvadoran importers and food and beverage commodities of U.S. origin. US Rice Producers Association had an outstanding representation during the event, featuring Chef Carlos Hernandez (Ambassador of USRPA’s training and communication program in El Salvador), who showed attendees an easy and affordable way to prepare a delicious Risotto, mixing the tradition of Italian cuisine with the versatility of American long grain rice and Salvadoran heritage. Octavio Muñoz, USRPA Representative & Program Coordinator for Latin America, attended the event, seeking to establish commercial relationships that benefit the members of US Rice Producers Association and collaborate with different USDA cooperators to develop joint activities to increase American long grain rice consumption in Central America. |
