South Dakota leverages state structure to support international agricultural trade
What happened
South Dakota officials are discussing the role of individual states in international commerce. Hunter Roberts, Secretary for the South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources, stated that state agricultural departments assist with federal trade deals. Roberts explained that because South Dakota accounts for only 0.011% of global consumers, international trade is necessary for the state's producers to sell their food and energy products.
