Project Description

Agriteam designed and developed a course to introduce small- to medium-sized agrifood producers to the export marketing process. The course was designed to be delivered in eight modules over an eight-month period, and combined home study with one-day workshops. Materials for each module included a textbook, participant's workshop guide, instructor's guide and workplace assignments, as well as a comprehensive bibliography, list of government and industry contacts, guide to government assistance programs and other resource material. Agriteam managed the project and coordinated a team of 10 curriculum development specialists with expertise in agricultural economics, agrifood export markets, international finance, business planning, international trade regulations and adult education.
