FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ Representatives of six North Dakota companies
are going on a trade mission to the South American nation of
Colombia next week.
Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring and officials with the
North Dakota Trade Office and the U.S. Commercial Service will lead
the group, which will meet with potential buyers in the cities of
Bogota and Medellin.
It is the first North Dakota trade mission to Colombia in four
years. Gov. Jack Dalrymple says the recently signed U.S.-Colombia
Free Trade Agreement, along with Colombia's growing middle class
and improved living standards, are opening doors for North Dakota
exporters.
