Whitley. \u201cI hope our partnership will continue to flourish as we continue to successfully promote and connect U.S. food and agriculture to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>USDA FAS foreign service officers support NASDA\u2019s trade show events by recruiting qualified international buyers to attend its shows. NASDA works with state departments of agriculture to connect small-to-medium-sized companies to foreign buyers interested in purchasing U.S. food and beverage products. \u00a0As part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fas.usda.gov\/programs\/market-access-program-map\">Market Access Program<\/a>, NASDA hosts \u201cA Taste of the States\u201d at the National Restaurant Show and Americas Food & Beverage Show to facilitate these connections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since the establishment of the nation-wide cooperative agreement between USDA FAS and NASDA in 1983, NASDA has hosted over 50 trade show events in the U.S. and assisted with scores of U.S. pavilions in events outside the U.S. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, we are celebrating NASDA and USDA FAS\u2019s work of uplifting small businesses and sharing high-quality American food products around the globe,\u201d said NASDA CEO Ted McKinney. \u201cWith the creation of new markets, we have expanded our ability to feed the world and support local communities through the growth of small businesses. NASDA looks forward to years ahead of working with USDA FAS to ensure agriculture leads the way toward a healthy and resilient world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The next trade show funded by the USDA FAS-NASDA partnership, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasda.org\/tradeshows\/miami\/\">A Taste of the States: Miami<\/a>,\u201d takes place next week at the Americas Food & Beverage Show.\u00a0 For more information about the partnership and NASDA trade shows, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasda.org\/tradeshows\/\">nasda.org\/tradeshows.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><em>NASDA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit association which represents the elected and appointed commissioners, secretaries and directors of the departments of agriculture in all 50 states and four U.S. territories.
