Holstein Association promoting exports
BRATTLEBORO, VT -
Agricultural exports create jobs
and boost America’s foreign trade
balance, a new study says - and a
unique public-private partnership
is working to raise export levels
even higher.
The study, issued by the U.S.
Agricultural Export Development
Council, says private groups like
the Holstein Association work with
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture in 130 countries to
develop markets for U.S. products.
This market development
program was created by Congress
thirty years ago at the same time
as the Food for Peace in
ternational-aid program.
The USAEDC’s members in
clude the private-sector trade
groups who actually carry out
market development abroad.

“Agricultural" exports mean
growth and jobs for the U.S.
economy,” the study says.
“Agricultural trade has shown a
positive balance every year since
1960 - and with today’s monstrous
U.S. trade deficits, the nation
needs the hard currency that
agricultural exports earn.”
“Developing foreign markets for
U.S. Holsteins serves the U.S.
dairy industry well, as quantities
of excess quality dairy cattle are
exported to countries building
their own dairy sectors,” ac
cording to James Zamdt, manager
of international market
development for the Holstein
Association. Zarndt adds that

The nation’s agricultural market
development efforts combine the
resources of the private trade
groups, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and overseas
customers. The trade groups, or
“cooperators,” fund a major
portion of the program, with ad
ditional resources coming from
USDA’s Foreign Agricultural-
Service and from foreign
businesses or agencies who are
interested in the products the U.S.
has to sell.
The USAEDC study, entitled
“Successfully Selling Abroad,”
says that:
• Agricultural exports of around
$35 billion a year account for a
WESTFALIA
million jobs in the U.S. economy,
and agriculture is one of the few
economic sectors with a positive
trade balance.
• The cooperator program
allows the public and private
sectors to achieve together what
neither could achieve separately;
USDA is involved because world
agricultural trade is highly
regulated and U.S. sellers often
face unfair trade barriers; the
cooperator groups bring private
sector expertise to the task of
marketing our nation’s
agricultural bounty.
USAEDC’s chairman,- Kenneth
L. Bader, said the council’s report
was especially timely since
Congress is debating the 1985
Farm Bill.

who is also chief executive officer

Congress will want to continue a
unique partnership whose results
speak for themselves: more
markets, more sales, more
