Trade Mission: US Market Readiness – Agri-food

The U.S. Pacific Northwest Food Exporters Mission is targeted for STEP’s agri-food and alcohol exporters looking to expand and grow their exports into the Pacific Northwest region. The program will target agri-food and beverage companies with limited international trade experience to prepare and educate them on how to successfully export to this region. Exports from the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, and Alaska) totaled $94.2 billion in 2023. The Pacific Northwest region has strong trade ties with Canada, presenting opportunities for Saskatchewan exporters.

The program will provide information that will help participating companies learn about export requirements, gather market intelligence, and making connections with key in-market support contacts (e.g., regional importers, distributors, brokers, customs clearance brokers) and US retailers, wholesalers, and distributors that could potentially carry their products.
