(St. Paul, MN) -- Representatives of the Minnesota Agriculture Industry are in Morocco this week to discuss possible trade opportunities.

State Agriculture Commissioner Thom Petersen is leading a delegation of state officials and agriculture leaders on a six-day trip to the country. The group is expected to tour Moroccan food and agriculture businesses and explore ways to expand Minnesota's exports to that country.

The state has exported over $13 million in agricultural products to Morocco in 2022 alone.
