CHICO, CA, UNITED STATES, November 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rural Export Roadshow: Unlocking Global Markets for California’s Far North

Groundbreaking Initiative Brings Export Opportunities to Rural Businesses

California’s Office of Small Business – Business and Economic Development and the California Export Training and Education Center (CA ETEC) are set to launch an innovative program aimed at revolutionizing rural exports.

The Rural Export Roadshow will bring critical resources and expertise directly to businesses in California’s Far North, addressing longstanding challenges faced by rural exporters.

Bridging the Rural-Urban Divide in International Trade

A recent U.S. Congress study for the Rural Export Initiative Act of 2021 identified two major hurdles for rural exporters:

1. Geographic Isolation: Rural businesses often operate far from key information hubs and major transportation routes.

2. Market Access Barriers: Remote locations create significant obstacles to entering international markets.

The Rural Export Roadshow is designed to overcome these challenges, offering a much need resource to businesses in Butte, Glenn, and Shasta counties.

Empowering Local Businesses with Global Opportunities

Participants in the Rural Export Roadshow will gain invaluable insights and tools, including:

– Cutting-edge market research strategies to identify best export markets and product opportunities

– Access to funding resources for export market development

– How to tap the growing cross border e-commerce selling opportunities

– Expert guidance on developing successful export marketing plans

– Success stories from rural exporters who have gone global

A Commitment to Inclusivity

Recognizing the diverse makeup of California’s Far North, the program will feature targeted outreach to Cambodian, Hmong, Punjabi-speaking, and Spanish-speaking communities through multilingual digital marketing campaigns.
