Upcoming NDTO Trade Missions & Reverse Missions

The weather has warmed, the evenings are getting longer, and soon the crops will rise up and sway in the North Dakota prairie breeze. Summer is approaching, which means it's nearly time to show our international friends where their high quality food ingredients and other products will come from.  The first part of 2016 has been quite busy as we've met many potential partners during trade missions to Egypt, Israel, India, Colombia and China.  This summer and fall will be devoted to bringing the people we've met on these trade missions back to North Dakota.
