BISMARCK - The North Dakota Trade Office has received a $129,000 federal grant to help the state expand exports of agricultural equipment to Ukraine.
The project calls for the trade office and U.S. Commercial Service to develop field days in Ukraine for North Dakota companies to demonstrate their equipment.
Establishing a showroom for North Dakota equipment in Ukraine is another part of the project.
Agricultural machinery is North Dakota's largest merchandise export, and Ukraine presents an excellent export opportunity, the trade office said.
To cover the three-year program's costs, the trade office will match the grant with funding and in-kind services valued at $262,598. N.D. Trade Office gets Ukraine grant 20071018
