On Wednesday, June 18, Ambassador Victor Ashe and Agricultural Counselor Eric Wenberg met with a delegation of meat exporters from Poland who will be going to the Fancy Food Show in New York to exhibit Polish food products for 10 days.  The group is an official delegation of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Polish Association of Meat Producers Unia Producentow I Pracodawcow Przemyslu Miesnego (UPEMI) comprised of Polish export company representatives, chefs, and public relations experts.  The United States granted access to more Polish meat products last year.  The U.S. Department of Agriculture office at the U.S. Embassy has been active in trying to help Poland get its food products and the delegation to this show.
