Foreign Agricultural Service

FAS Logo

The Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) office in Prague represents the interests of U.S. agriculture in the Czech Republic and is part of the regional office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture based in Warsaw.

FAS Prague assists U.S. companies interested in the Czech Republic by locating agents, distributors, importers and associations. FAS also lobbies the Czech government to ensure that U.S. agricultural exporters are treated fairly.

FAS Prague conducts market research and reports on agricultural commodities and food products in the Czech Republic. Our Market Briefs focus on specific products and include information on domestic production, foreign competition, distribution, prices, regulations, import tariffs, and important contacts in the Czech Republic. Similar Reports are prepared also by the FAS U.S. Mission to the European Union.

FAS promotes U.S. food products by organizing various events like seminars or tastings.

If you are interested in importing U.S. agricultural or food products, you can find your new supplier in our U.S. Supplier List database. Additionally we can help you to find a supplier using Custom Matchmaking Service. 

One of the goals of FAS Prague is to provide information on U.S. agriculture and its most modern technologies. A lot of useful information you can obtain from our website www.fas.usda.gov or from other sources recommended in the Information Sources section of this website.

Doing Business in Food Industry? Then Don’t Miss Food Shows in the U.S.

NRA Show 2012

FAS Prague encourages Czech importers and retailers to attend the FMI 2012 Show, the largest international gathering of retailers, distributors, suppliers, experts and educators. The show will take place in Dallas, Texas,  April 30 — May 3, 2012. FMI brings together the industry’s leading thinkers and decision-makers for four intensive days of learning, networking, and discovering new ways to build business and boost the bottom line.

In order to reduce the registration fee, FAS Prague collects registrations from Czech companies and registers them as a group. If your company would like to visit the FMI, please send a group registration form to FAS Prague by fax +420-257-022-803. 

FAS Prague also provides assistance with the NRA Show 2012, organized by the National Restaurant Association on May 5—8, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois. As the marketplace for international foodservice, the NRA Show provides unparalleled opportunity for buyers and sellers to come together, conduct business and learn from one another, igniting the future of businesses, relationships and ideas.

There are many more agriculture, forestry, food and fishery trade shows with international exhibitors and visitors held throughout the United States. You can see a complete trade show list in the FAS calendar. Please contact us, if you need more information or assistance with registration.
