Registration is open at http://events.SignUp4.com/GovAgTrade2016, and details will be made available online as they are finalized.

“Our annual trade conference has become a premier venue for those new to or already involved in international markets to get updates on the world of trade,” said Spencer Neale, VFBF vice president of commodity marketing. “It’s a great opportunity to network with a diverse group of stakeholders who have a common interest in this growing economic segment of agribusiness in the commonwealth.”
