The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture

The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) collaborates with the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) and its network of international offices to recruit qualified, international buyers from the Americas, the Caribbean, and Africa. Buyers are interested in an array of food and beverage products, including bakery goods, candy and confectionery, dairy products, meat, poultry, ingredients, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, seafood, and snack foods, and represent diverse markets including foodservice, distributors, export agencies, manufactures, retailers, and service providers.

NASDA is currently seeking Texas companies to participate in their trade shows. These shows are a great opportunity to gain exposure to international buyers without ever having to leave the country. In addition to international exposure, you have access to one-on-one meetings with buyers, export coaching, enhanced booth packages, and chef demonstrations to showcase your products to the world!
