Exporting Panel: Turning Local Success to Global Opportunity

Register for our Free Exporting Panel March 25 at 7:45 a.m. at the Younes Convention Center South: Turning Local Success to Global Opportunity

Exporting does not have to feel out of reach. Whether you are just beginning to explore international markets or looking to grow your existing export strategy, the right guidance can make all the difference.

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture is hosting a free exporting panel alongside Marketech 2026 designed to give Nebraska businesses practical insight, real-world examples, and clear next steps toward reaching global markets. You will hear directly from a Food Export Midwest representative and Nebraska companies that have successfully expanded internationally.

Nebraska businesses are already turning these opportunities into real growth, and Omaha Protein Popcorn will be joining our panel to share how they did it. After participating in Food Export Buyers Missions in 2024 and building relationships with buyers from nine countries, the company generated more than $500,000 in export sales. They now project that by 2026, export sales could reach five times that amount as they continue expanding into foreign markets through Walmart stores overseas. Their experience shows what is possible with the right programs and partnerships, and how your business can achieve similar growth.

What You Will Learn During the Panel:
During the discussion, you will learn:
• How to get started with exporting
• How companies are successfully reaching international buyers without leaving the United States
• An overview of key Food Export Midwest programs, including Buyers Missions, international trade shows, and export marketing financial assistance
• Real world examples and success stories from companies participating in Food Export Midwest programs

You don’t have to attend the full Marketech Conference to join this panel. Pre-registion is requested so we can plan seating, materials, and refreshments. If you’re curious about exporting, growing your business, or exploring what’s possible, this is the place to be.

Join us March 25 at 7:45 a.m. at the Younes Convention Center and take your first step toward global growth. Can’t Wait – Sign Me Up!
