The primary mission of agricultural trade offices is to help market and promote U.S. agricultural, fish, and forestry products, and to assist in trade development. The offices provide a starting point for U.S. companies, cooperatives, farmers and processors interested in exporting.
In addition to inaugurating the new office in Chengdu, Terpstra is in China to attend meetings of the Joint Commission on Commerce and Trade and the U.S.-China Strategic Economic Dialogue. She will also hold additional bilateral discussions on agricultural trade.
Terpstra is part of a U.S. delegation, including officials from the departments of Treasury, Commerce, and Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative.
