Please join the National Black Farmers Association (NBFA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Minority and Women-Owned Business Division of the Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) for a discussion about advancing inclusive economic growth in the American agriculture sector. You will hear from speakers with experience in international trade and entrepreneurship who will discuss professional and commercial opportunities in international business, the challenges they face, and possible solutions for building a more inclusive international business community.
