Who We Are

Creators of a Global Marketplace

We are Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast, non-profit organizations made up of agricultural promotion agencies from 13 Midwestern and 10 Northeastern states. We exist to provide the support U.S. companies need to enter international markets by offering export education, global connections, export strategies, and marketing financial assistance.

Furthermore, to ensure the ecosystem works for both sides, we maintain In-Market Representatives in all key regions. These experts work closely with importers to ensure they benefit fully from our programs and successfully connect with the best U.S. suppliers.
