> USDA COSPONSORS SEMINAR ON EXPORT LOGISTICS
> WASHINGTON, June 8, 2000 The U.S. Department of Agriculture today
announced
> an upcoming seminar designed to help shippers of high-value agricultural
> products establish and expand overseas markets. The seminar, "Export
> Excellence," which will be jointly sponsored by USDA and the American
> Institute for Shippers' Associations (AISA), will take place on August 8
at
> the Silverado Hotel in Napa, Calif., in conjunction with AISA's 40th
Annual
> Meeting.
> "The seminar represents an exceptional one-stop shopping' opportunity for
> anyone currently involved in or eager to learn about participating in
> international trade," said Kathleen Merrigan, administrator of USDA's
> Agricultural Marketing Service. "It will give exporters the information
they
> need to compete in today's fast-paced global market place."
> The program will feature a series of speakers addressing a broad range of
> topics, such as: export market development, government assistance
programs,
> shippers' associations, port services, and the latest in logistics
> technology.
> "Small- and medium-size shippers and exporters, in particular, will be
able
> to learn how they can export more effectively through cooperative shipping
> or shippers' associations," said Merrigan. "By pooling cargo, shippers can
> reduce their transportation costs and improve the logistical services they
> receive."
> Both public- and private-sector international trade, regulatory, legal,
and
> marketing specialists will address the gathering. Among the speakers will
be
> Joseph Rallo, Director, International Department, The Wine Institute;
