Ohio Ag groups send TPA support letter
Several agricultural organizations in Ohio are urging Ohio’s Congressional delegation to support the passage of Trade Promotion Authority (TPA).
A letter, signed by organizations representing farmers, processors and related industries in the state, emphasizes the need for greater access to foreign markets only possible through trade agreements and TPA.
In addition to the economic benefits, the letter highlights job creation as a result of robust exports. In Ohio, exports of agricultural products in 2013 totaled $4.4 billion, which generated an additional 29,000 jobs.
Those signing the letter include:
Ohio Agribusiness Association
Ohio Cattlemen’s Association
Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association
Ohio Dairy Producers Association
Ohio Farm Bureau
Ohio Pork Council
Ohio Poultry Association
Ohio Soybean Association
