The Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) invites industry stakeholders to join us for the 2017 Annual USDA Foods Contractors and Suppliers Industry Meeting to discuss commodity purchase programs and USDA Foods.
This meeting offers a great opportunity to share new information about the purchase program and provides opportunities to collaborate with other supplier and contractor stakeholders to improve the program. We look forward to seeing returning vendors as well as new vendors from all industry groups!
