USDA Arranging Trade Mission to North Africa

 01/02/2020

In a January 2nd announcement, the U.S. Department of Agriculture advised U.S. exporters of a trade mission to Casablanca, Morocco, to take place over the period March 16th to19 th. The mission will focus on U.S. agricultural exports to all of North Africa and will include interested buyers from Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia.

 

This will be the second USDA trade mission to Africa within six months, supporting the Administration's Prosper Africa initiative to encourage trade and investment between the United States and Africa.

 

The U.S.-Morocco Free Trade Agreement and the infrastructure and stable economy of Morocco suggest opportunities for egg exports. In 2018 Morocco imports of U.S. agricultural and related products attained $595 million in value.

 

While in Casablanca, trade mission delegates will participate in business-to-business meetings with potential customers coordinated by local staff from USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) who will provide guidance and assistance.

 

The deadline to apply for the North Africa trade mission is January 16, 2020. For additional information, visit https://www.fas.usda.gov/topics/trade-missions or email trademissions@fas.usda.gov.

 

The USDA advised that the following trade missions are planned for 2020:

  • Philippines, April 20
  • Spain and Portugal, June 8
  • United Kingdom, September 14
  • Australia and New Zealand, October 19
  • Peru, November 2
  • United Arab Emirates, November 15
