Equity Research Sector Specificity

I'm a recent graduate from a semi-target looking to do ER in the food industry specifically. I was wondering if it was acceptable to target a specific sector in my cover letters and other correspondence to firms. Of course, I would be sure to make sure that the companies cover food/beverage sector.

I've always been interested in food trends and the like. Further, my mom heads up the food and beverage department of a market research firm and has access to some proprietary data. I also did a research project on milk trends in the country for one of my internships.

So again, do you think it would be helpful or harmful if I specifically stated in my cover letters that I was interested in one sector of the market.
