Food Export Buyers Missions are Unique, Curated Experiences that Maximize Your Time and Investment

Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast are conducting a Hardwood Product Buyers Mission this year! This event will include two stops, in Missouri and Pennsylvania.

You’ll meet with pre-qualified buyers from around the world in pre-arranged, one-on-one meetings right here in the U.S., generate new sales leads, and build relationships with key industry players! It’s the perfect low-cost opportunity to meet qualified buyers from around the world in one place!

U.S. wood products are agricultural goods that can be marketed to various places around the world. The U.S. is a leading exporter of wood products. According to the USDA, there was a total of $9.51 billion in exports of U.S. forest and wood products in 2024. 

Register early as meeting slots are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
