Exporting Food and Ag Products: Trends, Trajectories and Tips

November 9, 2021 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM (CST)

Description

Every week, more than $65 million worth of Wisconsin food and agricultural products are exported from Wisconsin to international markets totaling nearly $3.4 billion worth of exports. Over the past five years, retaliatory tariffs and the COVID19 Pandemic have impacted the global food supply chain and Wisconsin’s exports. But there is cause for optimism, half way through 2021, exports are up over 21%. 

How does the rest of this year look? What about the next few years? How can you succeed in exporting of food and ag products despite the global upheavals? 

MITA is pleased to present this session focused on the future of food and ag exports from Wisconsin. 

Dr. Michael J. Swanson, Wells Fargo Agricultural Economist and Consultant will provide context and insights on the global economy, the trends and trajectories that are cause for optimism, and the headwinds that signal caution in projecting our exports for the rest of this year and for the next few years, for this critical sector of the Wisconsin economy. 

Cindy Brown, President of Chippewa Valley Bean and Sam Allison, International Sales Director for Sartori Cheese will share the experiences and expectations for their product sectors, as we look to the years ahead. Please Join us on November 9, 2021 at 1:00 PM for the Madison International Trade Association virtual meeting on Economic Trends and Trajectories for Wisconsin Farm, Food and Forestry Exports.
