06/02/2014: Exporting ingredients to the US feed industry


How difficult is it to export feed ingredients into one of the most demanding and profitable markets in the world? 

The American Feed Industry Association, hosted the '2014 Exporting Feed & Feed Ingredients to the US' seminar at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) in Atlanta last week to address foreign exporters concerns. The aim was to provide attendees with "productive and educational information" on the subject and as a follow-up the AFIA has made the three key presentations - in their PowerPoint format - more widely available through this link.
