USMEF hosted two U.S. beef tastings at the well-regarded Nguni Bar and Grill, in Accra, Ghana. The 64 participants included professional chefs, restaurant owners and operators, food influencers and corporate banking relationship executives who work with hotels and hospitality businesses. Over two evenings, they were treated to U.S. brisket, and sirloin, ribeye and T-bone steaks.
The two-night event helps build on momentum generated by USMEF's trade mission to Accra in 2025, says Chad Carney, USMEF Africa marketing manager.
"The tasting sessions showcased the quality, versatility and culinary appeal of premium U.S. beef cuts while strengthening engagement with key stakeholders in Ghana's food service and hospitality industry," Carney said. "Representatives from USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service were also in attendance, underscoring the importance of the engagement."
