USDA Accepting Applications for Japan Trade Mission

USDA is accepting applications from exporters for its upcoming trade mission in Japan, the agency's Foreign Agricultural Service said last week. The June 5-8 trade mission will offer U.S. agribusinesses the “potential to increase or expand their sales to Japan,” the agency said. The mission will travel to Tokyo and Osaka and will feature meetings between U.S. businesses and potential Japanese buyers. USDA said “strong opportunities” exist in Japan for exporters of meat, meat products, tree nuts, dairy products, condiments, sauces, fresh vegetables, processed fruit, egg products, beer, distilled spirits, wine and consumer-oriented goods. Applications are due Feb. 27.
