2024 Global Food Trends & Export Market Insights
Today’s consumers are more informed and discerning than ever before. With growing awareness of environmental, geopolitical, and ethical impacts surrounding their eating habits, they seek transparency and sustainability in their food choices. This edition also explores the implications of recent geopolitical events and climate patterns on the international food system, including fluctuations in energy, fertilizer, and food prices due to strains on production and transportation.
Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast have more than 1,000 active suppliers participating in their various programs. Discover how these suppliers are finding success by establishing new distributor relationships, generating new export sales, and expanding their brand awareness in international markets through Food Export’s Branded Program and Buyers Missions.
Explore the unique opportunities in key export markets. Food Export leverages the expertise of its 19 In-Market Representatives and the latest market data to help exporters understand the advantages and challenges of each region. This edition discusses Japan, Brazil, and Nigeria, each of which are strong markets for U.S. consumer-oriented food products. The Country Profiles are valuable for new and experienced exporters looking to expand their reach.
Discover which products are poised for success in international markets. The Product Highlights utilize the latest industry data from popular export markets to provide insight into market demand and potential opportunities for exporters in the Midwest and Northeast.

Emotional investment can be a powerful motivator in the growth and resilience of commodity product markets. Despite global economic fluctuations, the demand for luxury pet food remains stable as consumers prioritize their pets’ well-being. This presents an opportunity for exporters to tap into an expanding market that remains resilient during periods of economic hardship.
In other news, as the seafood industry experiences a surge in demand due to growing consumer awareness surrounding the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and demand for protein-rich diets, sustainability remains a key driver to ensure the ongoing success of seafood exports.
