Ag Trade and Policy
NAEGA is staffed with experienced professionals who understand the industry and the workings of the U.S. and international governments, enabling them to serve as a valuable resource for government agencies and officials on farm and trade policy issues.
NAEGA regularly engages with multilateral groups on issues related to global grain and oilseed markets, and our members actively engage in dialogue. In a joint public-private sector effort, we work directly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Market Access Program (MAP).
