Since 1973, SUSTA has worked with the Departments of Agriculture to increase the export of southern U.S. food and agricultural products and enhance the economic well-being of the region.
SUSTA offers two core programs, Global Events and 50% CostShare.

Through 50% CostShare, you can apply for 50% reimbursement of eligible international marketing expenses, such as advertising in a foreign country or sampling your products in a foreign retailer. |
Whether you are new to exporting or have years of experience, specific issues will arise where you could use some help from a trusted resource. Through SUSTA’s Export Helpline, you can ask an industry-recognized expert with over 15 years of experience questions related to the export process, from how to do market research to pricing your product for export (and everything in between).
SUSTA’s complimentary Export Helpline is one more service designed to ease your export process. This service is available to all companies with an eligible MySUSTA account.
