USDA will be sponsoring 7 agribusiness trade missions in 2020 to grow and diversify export opportunities around the world for America’s farmers and ranchers. Scheduled 2020 trade missions include North Africa (March), Philippines (April), Spain/Portugal (June), United Kingdom (September), Australia/New Zealand (October), Peru (November), and United Arab Emirates (November). USLGE members can view trade mission dates, deadlines, and descriptions through the calendar in the member portal.

Stakeholders can sign up to receive automatic notifications through the APHIS Stakeholder Registry. These notifications will alert subscribers that an update has been made to the export requirements for either live animals or animal products. The message will include a link that will take subscribers to the APHIS website to learn more about the specific change and the country it applies to.
