In addition to the presence of SMEs and Argentine institutions at the traditional National Pavilion, 24 companies will offer tastings of Argentine products on a Food Truck which will travel the streets of Manhattan under the slogan "Taste Argentina" during the fair.
The Food Truck will stop at three of the city's landmark sites:

The Food Truck's offer will include top Argentine gastronomic exportable goods, such as the traditional dulce de leche, olive oil, yerba mate, sweets, beverages and fruit, among others. There will also be a chef whose dishes will cater for the tastes of local consumers. Social media users will be able to follow the Food Truck's route and join the event, using the hashtag #TasteArgentina.
