USDA Seeking US Exporters for North Africa Trade Mission

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is seeking exporters to participate in its first trade mission of 2020 in Casablanca, Morocco, March 16-19, USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service said in a Jan. 2 press release. The mission will focus on increasing exports to “all of North Africa” and will include buyers from Algeria, Libya and Tunisia. USDA said Morocco is a “promising market” due to the U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement and the country’s “high-quality infrastructure and stable economy.” U.S. exporters will have the opportunity to meet with potential customers and participate in “in-depth briefings and site visits to provide insights into exporting to the region,” USDA said. The mission is one of seven planned for 2020 (see 1912060027). The deadline to apply is Jan. 16.
