Agriculture is the largest industry in North Carolina. North Carolina Department of Agriculture’s International Marketing team has close relations with that $77-billion industry. 

We provide motivation and support for our partner companies so they can export and reach 95 percent of the global market. This partnership has helped NC agriculture exports increase about 10 percent a year on average.
