Agricultural Services

General Information

The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) office in Prague represents the interests of U.S. agriculture in the Czech Republic and is part of the regional office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture based in Warsaw.

FAS Prague assists U.S. companies interested in the Czech Republic by locating agents, distributors, importers and associations. FAS also lobbies the Czech government to ensure that U.S. agricultural exporters are treated fairly.

FAS Prague conducts market research and reports on agricultural commodities and food products in the Czech Republic. Our Market Briefs focus on specific products and include information on domestic production, foreign competition, distribution, prices, regulations, import tariffs, and important contacts in the Czech Republic. Similar Reports are prepared also by the FAS U.S. Mission to the European Union.

FAS promotes U.S. food products by organizing various events like seminars or tastings.  If you are interested in importing U.S. agricultural or food products, you can find your new supplier in our U.S. Supplier List database. Additionally we can help you to find a supplier using Custom Matchmaking Service.  

FAS Prague encourages Czech importers and retailers to visit the FMI Show, the worlds largest international gathering of retailers, distributors, suppliers, experts and educators. FMI is a food and retail equipment show accompanied by a number of seminars. It takes place each year in Chicago, in early May. In order to reduce the registration fee, FAS Prague annually collects registrations from Czech companies and registers them as a group. If your company would like to visit the FMI, please send a group registration form to FAS Prague by fax.  Another show we provide similar assistance with is the NRA show, organized every year by the National Restaurant Association.

One of the goals of FAS Prague is to provide information on U.S. agriculture and its most modern technologies.  A lot of useful information you can obtain from our website www.fas.usda.gov or from other sources recommended in the Information Sources section of this website.
