Trade Mission participants from Europe and Costa Rica
get excited about beans in Michigan

USDBC’s 2023 World Wide Trade Mission has just concluded after global participants spent a week in Michigan dry bean country. Almost twenty buyers from key and prospective markets around the world had the chance to observe harvest, tour processing facilities, receive briefings on the harvest in other dry bean regions such as North Dakota and Nebraska, and learn about the latest in dry bean genetics and innovation. Participants also held one on one business sessions with U.S. dry bean industry members. This is the largest group we’ve received in a while and many decided to self fund. We look forward to the next Mission in 2024 in North Dakota/Minnesota.

What an amazing global group! Until 2024!
