NASDA Concludes Successful Trade Mission

The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture concluded an inbound trade mission with a high-level Moroccan agricultural delegation in June. The visit further strengthened bilateral agricultural cooperation and deepened ties between the U.S. and Morocco, laying important groundwork for continued engagement. The mission also opened new avenues for collaboration and future trade opportunities. “The visit was an important step in further strengthening agricultural ties between Morocco and the U.S.,” said NASDA CEO Ted McKinney. “It’s clear there’s a strong appetite on both sides to build long-term trade relationships grounded in shared values and innovation.” Moroccan leaders expressed a strong interest in expanding agricultural partnerships with the U.S. Throughout the mission, delegates explored opportunities for trade collaboration in areas like soil management, biotechnology, food safety, drought resilience, and many other areas. The Moroccan delegation included senior officials from the country’s food safety authority and executives from leading Moroccan agricultural organizations.
