Alaska
is the place where we still have true pioneers. We have generations
of farmers who are still clearing virgin ground for agricultural
production. Characterized commonly as the land of ice and snow
it is also the land of some of the most pristine food products
in the world.
Washington
is a major livestock producing state with a high volume of beef
and dairy production as well as a leader in the field of Aquaculture.
Washington is a principal gateway for exporting animals and animal
products to Asia via Seattle International Airport and by way
of our seaports. There is also a considerable amount of livestock
shipments through our ports on the Canadian border.
Oregon
Agriculture contributes more than $1.1 billion to the state's
economy and represents 25.3% of the total income from all Oregon
agriculture commodities. It is directly and indirectly resposible
for $25B goods/services, contributing over 10% of all of the state's
economic activity.
Please
contact us if we can be of any assistance.
