Last week, Gary, Ryan and Brigid attended the United States Agricultural Export Development Council’s (USAEDC) Attaché Seminar in Arlington, Virginia. During the seminar, NAEGA held consultations with Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) attachés from Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Kenya, Peru, South Korea, and Ukraine to discuss NAEGA and IGTC policy files as well as enquire about country-specific agricultural issues. In addition to these one-on-one meetings, NAEGA staff also heard from USAEDC speakers including Gregg Doud, Chief Agricultural Negotiator in the Office of the United States Trade Representative and Ted McKinney, Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, to provide updates and insight into the current status and future of U.S. agricultural trade.
