The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) will lead an Outward Selling Mission (OSM) to the United States of America (US) from 14 to 19 October.
The OSM will visit New York and Philadelphia and will conclude at the Fresh Summit Exhibition in Anaheim, California, where more food companies from the US and other countries will be exhibiting. (Not all participating companies will be included on this leg due to the nature of the exhibition.)

· Fresh flowers.
· Fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts and seeds, processed foods (dried, dehydrated, frozen, ready-to-eat/cook)
· Food labelling and packaging.
The closing date for receipt of application forms is 28 June.
