Shwapno showcases US food and beverage products

Leading retailer Shwapno and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have announced an initiative to showcase food and beverage products from the United States.

Called 'Taste of America', the exhibition will showcases over 100 US food and beverage products in 10 Swapno retail outlets, including at Dhaka's Gulshan, Banani, Dhanmondi, Uttara, and Sylhet stores, said a press release.

US ambassador to Bangladesh Earl R Miller on Thursday inaugurated the exhibition.

The goal of the promotional initiative is to provide consumers in Bangladesh greater access to a variety of US foods, including canola oil, dried fruits, nuts, cereals, chocolates, and much more.

In total, more than 100 products will be featured in the exhibition, said the release.

Arif Dowla, managing director of ACI Group, and Sabbir Hasan Nasir, executive director of Swapno were present at the launching event.

"I am excited to see US products become increasingly available in Bangladesh and am confident that consumers will find US food items to be flavourful and of the best quality," said Miller.

Since the inception, Shwapno increased its outlet number to 175, said ACI Group Managing Director Arif Dowla.

"We know US products are high-quality. So, we are happy to feature US products in our stores," he added.
