CDFA, in cooperation with the Western United States Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA), hosted business delegations from the Middle East and South Korea this week to meet with California agricultural suppliers. More than 40 companies participated in meetings in Los Angeles, Sacramento and San Francisco as part of overall activities, leading to more than 350 individual business meetings. California is the nation\u2019s largest agricultural exporter<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> valued at more than $20 billion. Inbound delegations allow companies the opportunity to meet with qualified foreign buyers to expand business connections and export opportunities. CDFA works to protect and promote California\u2019s agricultural sector. For more information on upcoming events, please visit WUSATA (www.wusata.org\/events<\/strong><\/a>)
