Record Trade Mission Concludes Successful Visit to the U.S.

Global trade Team Visits Michigan Bean Harvest

Over 35 buyers and industry professionals from fifteen countries concluded a successful visit to US dry bean country to observe harvest and learn more about the industry.

During the visit, mission participants visited operations in Michigan, North Dakota, and Nebraska with brief side visits to Chicago and Wisconsin.  These trade missions are critical to cultivate important business relationships with international customers and long term partnerships with key contacts around the world.  They also create new momentum for immediate purchases of a variety of dry beans and we anticipate that this visit will have the same results.

Thanks to the Michigan Bean Commission, Northarvest, North Central Bean Dealers, the Nebraska Dry Bean Commission, and Chippewa Valley Beans for their hospitality and participation in this event. This was the largest reverse trade mission ever hosted by the US Dry Bean Council and one of the most enthusiastic groups assembled. We look forward to doing more business with all of the participants.
