Romania's farmers and agri-businesses will have the opportunity to access the latest U.S. technology as they meet with a group of U.S. business visiting Bucharest this week. The fourteen U.S. businesses represent a wide spectrum of the agricultural sector including animal genetics, agricultural processing, agricultural investment, inputs, livestock genetics, ready-to-eat products, meats and poultry, and feed and grains. The United States Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Agency for International Development USAID have teamed up to sponsor the trade and investment mission during the week of December 5 in Bucharest.

The mission is expected to result in important sales and investment, since it aims to promote trade and commercial cooperation in the agricultural sector, foster economic growth and create jobs in rural areas of Romania.

Led by Mr. Brian Goggin, the Agricultural Attache of the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service, fourteen U.S. businesses will participate in the mission, ranging from small animal feed equipment dealers to livestock genetics, ready-to-eat products, meats and poultry to large investment firms. Each company will have a series of face-to-face meetings with potential investment and production partners.

The delegation kicked off their visit to Bucharest with a conference at the Crown Plaza Hotel on Monday, December the 5th at 9:30am. USAID Director Mr. Rodger Garner, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Lazin and Mrs. Ana Maria Cristina, President Romanian Agency for Foreign Investment, greeted the group.

For those businessmen and farmers who wish to meet with any of these companies, please contact the US Embassy Office of Agriculture Affairs at 021 - 316-0398.
Please contact the Embassy’s Public Affairs Office at: 021 - 319-4136.

Agricultorii si intreprinzatorii agricoli din Romania vor avea ocazia de a cunoaste ultimele tehnologii americane in domeniu, in cadrul intalnirilor cu un grup de oameni de afaceri care se afla in Romania in acesta saptamana. Cele 14 companii prezente reprezinta o gama larga a sectorului agricol, inclusiv genetica animala, procesarea alimentelor, investitii in domeniul agricol, produse semi-preparate, carne si seminte. Departamentul pentru Agricultura al Statelor Unite si Agentia Statelor Unite pentru Dezvoltare Internationala si-au unit eforturile pentru a sponsoriza misiunea de comert si investitii, care se va desfasura in saptamana 5-9 decembrie, la Bucuresti.

Se doreste ca aceasta misiune sa genereze vanzari si investitii substantiale, deoarece aceasta are scopul de a promova cooperarea comerciala din sectorul agricol, de a sustine cresterea economica si de a crea locuri de munca in zonele rurale din Romania.

Sub conducerea lui Brian Goggin, atasatul pe probleme agricole al Serviciului Agricol International din cadrul Departamantului pentru Agricultura al Statelor Unite, la acesta misiune vor participa 14 companii americane, de la mici distribuitori de echipamente pentru hrana animalelor, produse semi-fabricate si carne la mari companii de investitii. Fiecare companie va avea o serie de intalniri tête-à-tête cu potentiali investitori si producatori.

Delegatia si-a initiat vizita la Bucuresti cu o conferinta sustinuta luni, 5 decembrie, la Hotelul Crowne Plaza. Printre participanti, s-au numarat Directorul USAID Romania, Rodger Garner, Secretarul de Stat in Ministerul Agriculturii Flaviu Lazin si Ana Maria Cristina, Presedintele Agentiei Romane pentru Investitii Straine.
