Agriculture Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Alexis Taylor will be leading the department’s first-ever regional agribusiness trade mission to the Netherlands.
Ms. Taylor will head a diverse delegation of more than 50 business, trade associations and state government leaders seeking to grow US agricultural exports to the Netherlands, Scandinavia and beyond on the April 17-20 mission.
During the mission, US participants will meet with importers from the Netherlands, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark. “Combined exports of U.S. farm and food products to this region totaled $4.5 billion in 2022, an increase of 10 percent from 2021,” according to Ms. Taylor.
She expects the Netherlands trade mission will provide promising export opportunities for a wide variety of products, from soybeans and tree nuts to meat and sweet potatoes, snacks, distilled spirits, forestry products and more.
While on the trade mission, participants will conduct business-to-business meetings with potential buyers, receive market briefings from FAS and industry trade experts, and participate in site visits.
In addition to the trade mission to the Netherlands, USDA is also planning a trade mission to Japan in June, to Chile in September, Malaysia in October, and Angola in December 2023. Learn more about USDA trade missions by visiting https://www.fas.usda.gov/
