Foreign Attachés Get a Taste of Oregon Agriculture

For more than 35 years, USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service has been hosting orientation visits for foreign attachés based in Washington, to provide firsthand knowledge of the excellence and diversity of American agriculture. For this year’s tour, 28 attachés from 22 countries spent the week of Sept. 17-23 visiting Eastern, Central and Western Oregon.

During the site visits, attachés learned about Oregon pears, blueberries, hops, wine, and more. It was also an opportunity for the attachés to develop and strengthen trade relationships, learn about new commodities they may be interested in developing market access for, and to bring back useful ideas for farmers in their own countries.
