Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS)

The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that focuses on promoting U.S. agricultural products around the world. It helps American farmers and businesses export their goods, fosters trade relationships with other countries, and conducts research on global agricultural trends. FAS also provides information and support to improve global food security and boost economic development in farmers’ markets internationally. By bridging U.S. agriculture with global markets, FAS plays a vital role in enhancing food trade and understanding international agricultural policies.
