NEW ORLEANS, LA – Companies that want to grow their businesses through exporting food and agricultural products can now find a calendar listing 2011 international promotions on the Web site of the Southern U.S. Trade Association (SUSTA) at www.susta.org.

Events for next year include trade shows, missions and other opportunities to meet buyers in Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, Canada, China and many other markets. "We're looking forward to our 2011 lineup of events, because these are perfect prospects for companies whose products are a natural fit for foreign markets," said Bernadette Wiltz, SUSTA's deputy director and international marketing director.
