The California Department of Food and Agriculture has announced two upcoming trade missions to Mexico and Taiwan this year for Golden State exporters looking to expand their market reach.

The trade mission to Taiwan will take place November 17-21 and will include stops to Taipei and Kaohsuing, the two largest cities on the island. In Taipei, the California delegation will meet with importers, processors and distributors to build relationships and deepen knowledge of the market’s needs. The stop in Kaohsuing will include a “product showcase,” according to the CDFA.
