 * Businesses (I think these are all based in Iowa):**

(Carrie) I found this really helpful site through the IDED website. [] It lists all kinds of Iowa businesses that are interested in international trade--if not Iowa businesses, they have a large presence in Iowa. I went through and picked out some big companies and list them here. Web links and phone numbers listed here too!!! They are divided into Biotech, Meat, Food, Grain and Oil Seed Products, and Manufacturers.
