USAID Egypt Letter

The FPA was contacted by the Trade Reform and Development (TRADE) Project, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Egypt. They are working on an initiative to foster the growth and expansion of the packaging sector and strengthen trade ties between U.S. and Egyptian companies in the packaging industry. They are coordinating a virtual trade mission and online B2B meetings for companies working in the packaging sector, including corrugated boxes, cardboard, flexible packaging, labels and printing, and paper-based products. This virtual mission is in collaboration with the Egyptian Export Council for Printing and Packaging (ECPP) and is designed for companies interested in exploring commercial opportunities with U.S. businesses. The B2B meetings will provide a platform for potential U.S.-Egypt partnerships and possible collaborations in the near future. The virtual meetings will be followed by a physical trade mission to participate in one of the major packaging trade fairs in the U.S. at the end of this year.
