SALEM, Ore. — The Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) will be facilitating virtual meetings between Western U.S. suppliers and Canadian buyers in the nursery products industry. The meetings will take place November 9-10, 2021 and an orientation and market briefing will be held November 8, 2021.
Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in a virtual trade mission with Canadian nursery buyers. Suppliers will have one-on-one meetings with qualified nursery buyers such as importers, distributors, and garden center retailers. In addition, participants will receive a market overview of trends in the Canadian nursery products market and will have access to knowledge and information through WUSATA’s in-market representative.
Nursery suppliers can be unfamiliar with the distribution channels, the retailers, and qualified importers in the Canadian nursery market. Therefore, WUSATA hopes to help Western U.S. companies make a bigger impact on key market players through these virtual buyer meetings.
