While the U.S. holds a strong market share for most dairy ingredients in several Central American countries, total market sizes are still small for ingredients other than milk powders. Markets and opportunities vary quite a bit from the three northern countries (net dairy deficit) to the three southern countries (net dairy surplus).  However with education, there are clear opportunities for local food processing companies across the entire region to incorporate U.S. dairy ingredients - in particular proteins, permeate and milk powder - into formulas for a wide variety of food applications.

The objective of this seminar is two-fold:

• Educate potential U.S. dairy ingredient end-users (R&D, Procurement, Marketing) on the functionality and nutrition of U.S. dairy proteins,  permeate and milk powders for a broad range of food and beverage applications.
• Connect USDEC members with potential buyers in the region via member presentations, one-to-one meetings and a networking reception in a mini-trade show environment.

Members are responsible for their own airfare, lodging and the shipment of samples and promotional materials.
