Deputy Agriculture Secretary Stephen Censky is leading a trade mission to West Africa today through Oct. 31 as part of President’s Trump Prosper Africa initiative. The initiative aims to boost two-way trade and investment between the United States and Africa.
“West Africa is a bright spot with a growing middle class that are hungry for our delicious and wholesome agriculture products,” Censky said. “Prosper Africa brings together the full range of U.S. government resources to connect U.S. and African businesses with new buyers, suppliers, and investment opportunities – a win for the United States and for countries across the African continent.”
The mission will be based in Accra, Ghana, and will also include buyer delegations from Côte d’Ivoire, The Gambia, Nigeria, and Senegal.
Censky will be joined by Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Steve Wellman, North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring, officials from the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and representatives from the following companies and organizations:
