Missouri Governor Announces Upcoming Trade Mission

Missouri Governor Mike Parson has announced plans for a fourth International Trade Mission. The Governor and First Lady Teresa Parson will travel to Germany and the Netherlands beginning Saturday and will return on July 30th.

The Trade Mission will include stops in Frankfurt and Düsseldorf, Germany, as well as Amsterdam and the Hague, Netherlands, to meet with government officials, diplomats, and business leaders to promote Missouri as a prime destination for business investment and expansion.

The governor says Missouri exported $902 million dollars in goods and services to Germany and the Netherlands in 2021.

Among the goods exported to Germany, chemicals and pharmaceutical products were among those in highest demand. Pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and other electronic components ranked highly among exports to the Netherlands.
