Trade Mission to East Africa, February 2007
|
"The United States strongly believes that the
key to Africa’s economic growth and development
is an open trading system in which all
governments operate transparently and
govern by the rule of law."
Mike Yost,
Administrator, Foreign Agricultural Service
FAS Administrator Mike Yost
led a
trade and investment mission to Nairobi, Kenya,
Feb. 19-23, 2007. The purpose of the mission
was
to explore two-way
trade and investment opportunities between U.S.
and East African agribusinesses. Fifteen U.S.
companies were part of the mission to learn about
the East Africa region, its business climate,
and how U.S. Government and Kenyan programs can
support their efforts. These U.S. companies
met with more than 50 East African
agribusiness representatives to build business
relationships.
