1049 ET - The Agriculture Department will host six agribusiness trade missions around the world next year, seeking to expand and diversify markets for U.S. producers. Between February through November, missions will be held in Indonesia, the Philippines, Turkey, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Vietnam. Turkey is a regional trans-shipment hub, with the mission expected to connect U.S. exporters with buyers across the Caucasus region, the USDA says, while Saudi Arabia is a gateway to the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf which together import over $3 billion in U.S. agricultural exports a year. "Boosting exports is critical to the success of the agricultural economy, and the American economy as a whole," USDA adds. (anthony.harrup@wsj.com)
