Texas Ag Commissioner Announces Texas - Isreal Trade Initiative

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller announced earlier today that he has been invited to Israel to meet with regional and national officials, including Uri Ariel, the Minister of Agriculture & Rural Development, to discuss vital agricultural issues, including trade and jobs. The trip will take place in March and the itinerary is still being finalized.  I am going to deliver the message to our trade partners in Israel that Texas is open for business and that we are looking forward to strengthening the bond between Texas and Israel,” Miller said. “Whether working on agricultural technology such as livestock genetics, finding solutions to our future water needs, increasing Texas exports or creating new jobs for both Texas and Israel, we have only scratched the surface of the ways we can work together,” Miller said.
