Trade Seminars

Trade seminars are very popular for companies to sell their products and services worldwide. There are lots of trade shows in Las Vegas and elsewhere for new products.

The U.S. Government sponsors and provides added value to a wide variety of trade seminars, trade-shows, online-seminars, events, missions and other trade related activities around the world.

Agricultural Trade Events

Trade missions personalize business relationships by introducing potential trade partners. Outgoing sales seminars shorten the time it takes to learn about another market.

Participants learn first-hand by hearing market briefings, visiting sales channels, and attending one-on-one seminar meetings with qualified buyers. Often interpreters are provided. Buyer missions (also called reverse trade missions) bring foreign buyers into the United States to introduce them to the wide variety and high quality agricultural products available here. Both types of semainars offer the U.S. exporter a great way to make contacts quickly and cost effectively at the seminar.

Trade Mission participation fees range between $750-2,500 depending on the type of services the companies receive. Missions are usually very focused, have briefings on the country’s economy and agricultural situation and opportunities, site visits to supermarkets and food services, and one-on-one pre-scheduled meetings. In some cases, they are connected with trade shows and companies take booths. Travel, hotel and incidental costs are paid by the travelers.
