The Agricultural Development and Marketing Division (ADMD) offers an integrated program to address development and marketing needs of Oregon's agricultural industry.
Our program operates in four principal areas.
We have integrated our program to provide a stepwise approach to meet the needs of Oregon producers and processors. Creating sustainable opportunity for Oregon agriculture is at the core of what we do.
We actively partner with other agencies and organizations to extend the reach of services we provide to Oregon agriculture.
Chief of these partnerships is our collaboration with Oregon State University (OSU) our joint venture partner at the Food Innovation Center in Portland. This facility is the first of its kind in the Northwest and serves as a powerful development tool for companies wishing to add value and market Oregon agricultural products.
In addition to our collaboration at the FIC, we work closely with the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department (OECDD) and the Governor's Economic Revitalization Teams (ERT).
All of these partnerships provide enhanced service delivery, reach and technical expertise for Oregon Agriculture and are critical to the success of the ADMD program of work.
