Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen and state leaders are embarking on a trade mission today to Japan.
The delegation includes representatives from the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, Nebraska Department of Economic Development, Union Pacific, and the state’s ag and manufacturing industries.
In Japan, the delegation will promote Nebraska’s high-quality, bio-secure ag products and advantageous business climate.
During the mission, Pillen will hold high-level meetings with Japanese governors and defense ministers.
He will also speak at the annual U.S. Midwest-Japan Association Conference in Tokyo.
Additionally, state leaders will visit Kawasaki to thank the company for its ongoing investment in Nebraska.
Promoting Nebraska ethanol will also be a top priority of the trade mission, which concludes on Tuesday.
