The Food Institute has been analyzing the food & beverage industry since 1928, and has a unique perspective into the major trends impacting the food & beverage industry

The Food Institute has been a strategic ally for ProChile. Through their Gateway to the US Market program, they helped Chile’s companies learn about the US markets and connect with importers, buyers, and other relevant partners in the food & beverage industry. 

The Food Institute has a great team with knowledgeable instructors. They helped clarify how our companies can effectively navigate the complexities of the US market and assess the market potential of various food & beverage products. I would highly recommend The Food Institute program to any international trade commission or company that seeks to promote different food & beverage products into the US market.”
