New Marketing Opportunities

Here is a new marketing opportunity for those interested in shipping plants overseas. SUSTA will conduct a training seminar to help those who would like to expand their markets and increase their sales. This might be a great opportunity to expand your customer base in a tight market. It might be a great opportunity to learn how to make contacts in other locations to hit the ground running when the global economy picks up. Besides, other places overseas may still need plants when the domestic demand is down.

Representatives from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Southern U.S. Trade Association will hold a meeting on May 19, 2009 at 2:00pm to discuss SUSTA programs available to assist agribusinesses in their export endeavors. The meeting will be held in the World Trade Center Miami conference room. The WTC is located at 1007 N. America Way, Suite 500. Topics will include the Market Access Program Branded and Generic initiatives.
