Kurzbeschreibung

Agricultural value chains become more and more international. The companies of the Agri- and Food Business have more and more the task to sell their products in foreign markets. A continiously grown part of their turnover is induced by foreign sales. But also the international procurement is more and more a strategic and important question for the companies of the agri-, horti- and food sector.
