Food Export Highlights Global Opportunities for U.S. Seafood at Seafood Expo North America

Boston, MA – As global demand for high-quality seafood continues to grow, Food Export USA® is helping suppliers from the Northeastern United States expand their presence in international markets. The organization exhibited at the Seafood Expo North America, one of the largest seafood trade events in the region, on March 16–18, 2026, at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

“Seafood is one of the most important export opportunities for the Northeast, and our role is to
help suppliers turn global demand into long-term market growth,” said Teresa Miller, Chief
Program & Partnership Officer for Food Export USA. “Through our programs, we connect
suppliers with buyers, provide resources to promote their products internationally, and help them
explore new markets where demand for premium seafood is expanding.”

A key resource for seafood suppliers is the organization’s Branded Program, which provides
50% cost reimbursement for eligible international marketing activities. The program supports
efforts such as global advertising, retail and foodservice promotions, buyer education seminars,
and culinary demonstrations that showcase the quality and versatility of Northeast U.S. fish and
shellfish.

Food Export USA also connects exporters with international buyers through trade missions and
industry events while supporting expansion into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia,
Taiwan, Korea, and the Middle East.

Following Seafood Expo North America, Food Export USA will continue supporting seafood
exporters through its Food Show PLUS!® program, including a pavilion for Northeast U.S.
seafood suppliers at Seafood Expo Global, taking place April 21–23, 2026, in Barcelona, Spain.
The event brings together seafood buyers and suppliers from more than 150 countries, creating
valuable opportunities to showcase products and expand into international markets.
