About Us

Affiliated Organizations
SUSTA is one of four cooperating State Regional Trade Groups (SRTG), which conduct joint promotions in foreign markets. The SRTGs have managed Foreign Market Development activities since 1986. With over 20 years of experience, the SRTGs have been instrumental in the increase of U.S. high-value food and agricultural exports.

If you are not located in one of SUSTA's member states, contact the SRTG that covers your state.

The Food Export Association of the Midwest USA represents the midwest. Food Export USA - Northeast represents the northeastern region, and the Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) covers the western U.S. states.

AgExports Links is a website listing industry service providers. The site is maintained by the SRTGs.

SUSTA is also a member of the U.S. Agricultural Export Development Council (USAEDC) and is affiliated with the Southern Association of State Departments of Agriculture (SASDA) and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA).

USAEDC is a forum for organizations participating in FAS programs. USAEDC and SASDA are not directly involved in the development of export markets. NASDA sponsors international food shows and is an FAS Foreign Market Development Cooperator. NASDA activities enhance cooperation and coordination among the four SRTGs.
