Reynolds to return to India in 2025 to build trade ties
October 3rd, 2024 by Jim Field
Governor Kim Reynolds says her recent 10-day trade mission to India is just the beginning of positioning Iowa companies, Iowa products and Iowa itself as partners in the world’s fastest growing economy.
Peter Tokar (TOH-kar) — president and C-E-O of the Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce — was part of the delegation.
Tokar and state officials are not revealing the name of the company. India only allows genetically modified cotton seeds to be grown in the country and bars imports of corn and soybeans grown from genetically modified seeds. Iowa Agriculture Secretary Mike Naig says there may be opportunities to export dried distillers grain and soybean meal, however.
Naig was also part of the trade mission to India.
