Trade Trip to Central America

The photos below are from the US Dry Bean Council trade mission to Central America in December 2013.  We visited importers, exporters, processors and traders in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador.  The council supports trade missions like this one every year to many regios of the world.  Please contact me if you would like more information on how to participate!
