TRADE MISSIONS 2007 Florida Foreign Trade Association announces its proposed upcoming TRADE-USA Incoming Trade Missions for 2007.

The Florida Foreign Trade Association is a non for profit Trade Organization. Its program TRADE-USA is designed to promote American products and/or services as well as to increase the international trade between the US and other countries through inbound trade missions. It does so by conducting a series of specialized matchmaking appointments between local and  foreign companies. The FFTA is a valuable networking organization that provides everyone an opportunity to expand their business by exploring new markets.

The Jay Malina International Trade Consortium’s (ITC) has long realized the importance of Asia to international trade. In just over four years, the ITC has led missions to China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.
As the ITC continues to seek opportunities for Miami-Dade County businesses, it pays particular attention to countries with the most potential for trade. India is now on the rise and is becoming more important to the global trading community. It is touted as having most of the elements needed for continued economic growth and development.

International trade is one of Florida’s major economic activities. With the support of Enterprise Florida, which is the State’s official economic development agency FFTA has conducted 43 trade missions throughout the Americas. It has an established infrastructure of collaboration, contacts, and support with the US Embassies, Commercial Sections, Chambers of Commerce, foreign embassies and consular offices, other trade associations, and local government agencies.
