Limited VolunteerOUR MISSION
When production exceeds domestic demand, USAEDC members look outside the U.S. to the global marketplace in order to meet the growing demand for healthy and sustainably produced products. American farmers, ranchers, foresters, and fishers rely on the government and their industry associations to develop and mature these new markets. Government support is often essential to overcome barriers to trade such as tariffs, quotas, sanitary and phytosanitary issues, as well as manage unforeseen obstacles as they arise. USDA, FAS, and their network of overseas offices prove instrumental in accomplishing those tasks.
