Strategic thinking will be a major theme at the U.S. Grains Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s upcoming meeting (Feb. 13-15) in Panama, a hub for international trade and commerce. As a featured speaker at the Council\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s general session, Christian Foster, deputy administrator for the Office of Trade Programs at USDA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), will offer new insight with his presentation on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Strategic Priorities for U.S. Trade Leadership.\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Christian Foster\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s comments will provide an<\/p>\n

important additional dimension for our discussions, especially as Council members begin the process of applying our updated strategic plan to the challenges facing U.S. exports,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd said Tom Sleight, USGC vice president of operations and membership.<\/p>\n

Foster will draw on an exceptionally rich background in trade, having served early in his career as Bell Atlantic Corporation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s director of business development in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. He served later as an economist for the Defense Intelligence Agency before transferring to USDA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Economic Research Service.<\/p>\n

In 1999, he became chief of the FAS Trade and Investment Program Branch. From 2002 until he assumed his present position, Foster was assistant deputy administrator for the Office of Capacity Building, where he focused on helping fragile and transitional economies transform into viable two-way trading markets for food and agricultural products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
