Although fruits, nuts, vegetables and other specialty crop products grown in California are highly regarded and in high demand by people around the world, surprisingly few California farms, processors and marketers export their products. Why? Well some think that exporting is too difficult, and should be left to “experts”. Others believe that their sales in the domestic US market are sufficient, and are not seeking to expand internationally. Others would like to export, but don’t know how to take the first steps.
If you count yourself among the last group (or any other group!), the CalAgX training program is for you. Upon completion of the program, you will have the knowledge, skills, and (most importantly) the connections to become a successful exporter.
What can the CalAgX do for you?
- Develop the “next steps” for your company to expand your sales on a global scale
- Understand the financial and promotional export assistance that is available
- Establish contacts with experienced professionals in international finance, logistics and trade
- Respond to international sales inquiries and trade leads
- Learn the details of moving your product overseas, and getting paid
- Identify and resolve company barriers to exporting
