NDTO Hosts Trade Mission

| 11/16/2012

A group of Kazakhstan farmers, ranchers and cattle owners are touring North Dakota this month as part of a trade mission. The 15 person delegation arrived on November 10 and will be visiting ranches in the state through November 22.

The mission was organized by the North Dakota Trade Office.

"Livestock is an exciting component of the diverse export industry in North Dakota," said Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley. "Our state is blessed to have the resources to provide one-stop-shopping for international purchasers of commodities, machinery and intellectual know-how. We are building the foundation for an even more robust export industry for North Dakota."

Over 5,000 cattle have been flown from Fargo to former Soviet Republic countries, including Kazakhstan.
