International Trade Programs
NASDA Trade Shows
NASDA’s cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service, in force since 1982, is designed to help U.S. food product companies source export opportunities. As a result of this partnership, NASDA produced more than 50 trade show events in the U.S. and assisted with scores of U.S. pavilions in events outside the U.S.
NASDA Trade Missions
Emerging Markets Program
In 2022, NASDA was awarded $925,000 through USDA FAS Emerging Markets Program. Through this program, NASDA promotes exports of U.S. agricultural products to developing countries with strong growth potential.
NASDA RAPP Trade Missions
In May 2024, NASDA received USDA FAS Regional Agricultural Promotion Program funding to focus on Africa, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the United Kingdom and the EU. RAPP aims to diversify and expand market opportunities for U.S. food and agricultural products beyond the traditional top customers. Gaining market share in these diverse and dynamic markets will help U.S. exporters better weather global shocks and better compete in an increasingly volatile global marketplace. NASDA will use these funds to continue efforts initiated through the Emerging Markets Program with expanded markets.
