About this magazine
The U.S. food sector is blending more and more into the world food market. Overseas markets offer
U.S. food companies opportunities for expanded sales. This issue of FoodReview looks at a number of
ways those firms are reaching foreign customers and how evolving foreign economies offer both
opportunities and challenges. Although exports are traditionally thought of as the primary way to access overseas markets, manufacturing foods abroad is the major way large U.S. food processors reach international markets. Processed food sales by U.S.-owned manufacturing plants located in other countries amounted to $103 billion in 1994--four times larger than U.S. processed food exports of $25.8 billion. U.S. food companies also frequently enter international markets through the use of licensing or franchising agreements with foreign firms.
