Wisconsin to Host Delegation of Cheese Buyers from the Middle East

Wisconsin may be the dairy State of the United States, but our states influence can also be felt across the world. This fact is reiterated by the fact that nearly a dozen prospective cheese buyers from five Middle Eastern countries will traveling to here later this month for a multi-day International Buyers Mission showcasing the state’s cheese and dairy industries. The cheese buyers – from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, Lebanon and Qatar – will be here June 26-29 to experience a “360 view” of Wisconsin’s dairy industry. The buyer will get to experience tours of cheese making plants, meetings with dairy industry leaders, a dairy farm tour, and a mini-trade show where the buyers will meet one-on-one with Wisconsin cheese making companies and exporters. Two Middle Eastern food writers/bloggers joining the delegation will share details of the Wisconsin experience with their readers.
