Located in Salem, New Hampshire, the Original Gourmet Food Company is considered the “World’s Best” and continuously strives to be just that, best in the world. Although the New Hampshire supplier is known for their delicious lollipops, they also produce various other unique snacks and treats.
Since 2003, Original Gourmet Food Company has participated in Food Export–Northeast programs to grow international awareness of its confectionery products. The New Hampshire-based supplier has taken part in numerous activities, including Buyers Missions, Food Show PLUS!™ services, webinars, and the Market Builder program to support its export strategy.
A key highlight came when the company participated in Food Export’s Food Show PLUS!™ services at the Gulfood Show, one of the world’s largest food and beverage trade events. As a result of the enhanced support provided through the program—such as in-market introductions, on-site assistance, and lead qualification—the company reported approximately $50,000 in export sales by the end of the program year. That figure is projected to double over the next 12 months.
Food Export uses funding from the Market Access Program (MAP) to help America’s small businesses increase their exports of food and agricultural products. As these exports increase, these small businesses are creating jobs and improving the strength and stability of our agricultural economy. Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast are non-profit organizations that work in collaboration with their member state departments of agriculture and the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. They offer a wide range of programs and services that help boost America’s agricultural exports.
