USDA, USTR Seek New Trade Advisory Committee Members
The USDA and Office of the U.S. Trade Representative are accepting applications for new members to serve on the agricultural trade advisory committees. The Agricultural Trade Policy Advisory Committee is comprised of senior representatives from across the U.S. agricultural community who advise USDA and USTR on overall trade policy matters, while members of the six Agricultural Technical Advisory Committees provide technical advice and guidance from the perspective of their specific product sectors: animals and animal products; fruits and vegetables; grains, feed, oilseeds, and planting seeds; processed foods; sweeteners and sweetener products; tobacco, cotton, peanuts, and hemp.
Applications must be received by Friday, September 20th. Committee members appointed from this round of nominations will serve four-year terms beginning in January 2025. To be considered for committee membership, applicants must have expertise in U.S. agriculture and experience in international trade.
