Grupo Perte Partnership in Expoagas Trade Show
ASMI LATAM supported Grupo Perte, a major importer of wild Alaska keta salmon, at Expoagas, held in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Expoagas is one of the most important trade shows for the supermarket and retail sector, focused on the Southern Brazilian market, and organized annually by the Gaucha (gentilic for the southernmost state of Brazil) Association of Supermarkets (Associação Gaúcha de Supermercados – AGAS).
The event brings together retailers, suppliers, and industry professionals to showcase new products, innovations, and services, while fostering valuable networking opportunities. As part of their participation at Grupo Perte’s booth, ASMI LATAM displayed a branded banner and a table featuring the Alaska Seafood logo. Additionally, ASMI assets were featured on the booth’s LED screen. The booth also included a chef preparing fish supplied by Grupo Perte.
During the event, tastings of wild Alaska keta salmon were served in Alaska Seafood–branded bowls. ASMI LATAM also had the chance to engage with salespeople and obtain trade leads. During their visit to Porto Alegre, they visited four supermarkets: Zaffari, Bistek, Rissul, and Carrefour, as well as ISOJ Nikkei Bar (a Peruvian and Japanese fusion restaurant), further identifying opportunities for Alaska seafood in the Porto Alegre market and throughout Southern Brazil.
