Exploring Opportunities in Increasing Turkish-US Bilateral Food and Agricultural Trade
Trade of food products and agricultural commodities between Turkey and the US are on rise, however the desired levels have not been attained yet. The purpose of this program is to share information with companies that would like to export food products to and/or import from the US and Canada and to create a networking platform for the sector.
Participants who would like to export to the USA from Turkey will be informed on the US market, FDA regulations and logistics and share the experiences of Turkish companies currently exporting to the US. On the other hand, Turkish importers will be informed on the related legislations and support programs. Participants will also find the opportunity for networking.
