training, one-on-one consultations, workshops, 

and state-supported conferences. Workshops are 

developed based on opportunities or needs that 

the SRTGs identify. For example, they may conduct a workshop to educate U.S. food companies 

and exporters of opportunities, constraints, and 

contacts for specific areas of the world. 

Cost: Fees vary per event. One-on-one consultations are free.
