Irade Show Assistance Program 



Are you planning to attend a wholesale trade show this year? The Montana Department of Agriculture Trade Show 

 Assistance Program helps agricultural companies attend domestic trade exhibitions to develop existing markets and access 

 new ones. 



The department's Trade Show Assistance Program provides Montana agricultural companies with assistance to participate 

 in trade promotion shows in the United States. Eligible companies can apply for financial support for a percentage of the 

 cost to participate in upcoming trade exhibitions up to $ 1 ,000. 



Financial assistance is just one benefit of the Trade Show Assistance Program. The department's marketing staff can also 

 assist Montana companies with many aspects of attending domestic trade shows, such as helping a company to identify 

 the best trade opportunities to access their intended market. Trade exhibiting tips are also available for companies to use. 



Applications for the spring quarter are due by April 30, 2003. Deadlines are quarterly and fall on January 31, April 30, July 

 3 1 and October 3 1 annually. For an application or for more information on the Trade Assistance Program, contact 

 Angelyn De Young at (406) 444-2404, or by e-mail at agr@state.mt.us . Program guidelines and trade show exhibiting tips 

 are available at the Montana Department of Agriculture's web site at http://www.agr.state.mt.us .
