The Jamaican High Commission and JAMPRO are pleased to host its inaugural Meet The Buyer Event
The Jamaican High Commission (UK) and Jampro - the Government of Jamaica’s trade and investment arm– will be hosting their first Meet the Buyer event at the High Commission on Thursday, 7th April 2022.
The UK market has seen an upsurge in ‘world food’ consumption, and Jamaican foods have seen accelerated growth within this market, which is set to continue, according to recent studies by Mintel.
The consumer has a real appetite for authentic and premium products, and this seminal event gives buyers unique access directly to those producers who offer authenticity and innovation from Jamaica. This event will showcase some of Jamaicans’ very best businesses based in the UK, including luxury food brand Marshall and Brown and London based importer and distributor of Caribbean food and drinks brand Michaels Caribbean Imports, as well as producers of a wide range of food brands, based in Jamaica, including; Tijule, Sankhard Company, Pure Chocolate, Temper Tantrum, Benlar Foods, and the Jamaican Tea Company.
Retailers and buyers from across the country have been invited to meet authentically sourced, original Jamaican brands to make the distribution of authentic Jamaican products accessible nationwide.
High Commissioner His Excellency Seth George Ramocan proudly stated that this is “Jamaica, creating a more authentic ethnic food experience for customers.”
Marshall and Brown, founder Dr. Carlton Brown stated
“As a luxury Jamaican brand, we know that retailers sometimes find it challenging to differentiate between authentic Jamaican products that they place on their supermarket shelves and assimilated versions. This event which is supported by and underpinned by the Jamaican High Commission, and Jampro is important because it provides retailers with a unique opportunity to access authentic products directly with those buyers that support and work directly with Jamaica. We are proud to be one of the key exhibitors at this very important event for the Jamaican Diaspora”
