The IICA Delegation in the US serves as a liaison between US institutions and other IICA offices and partners in the hemisphere. 

A strong, inclusive, competitive and sustainable agricultural sector in LAC provides multiple benefits for the US.  IICA’s technical cooperation plays a critical role in facilitating this.  The Institute strives to support the interests of all its member countries collectively while also responding to their individual priorities.  IICA is uniquely positioned to help further US priorities in areas such as agricultural trade, biotechnology, food safety, animal and plant health, innovation, food security, and economic development throughout the Western Hemisphere. Our actions help to address the root causes of instability and migration, simulate economic growth and expand markets for US products, safeguard US agricultural health and food safety, and promote science-based standard setting.  

The IICA Delegation in the US serves as a liaison between US institutions and other IICA offices and partners in the hemisphere. Its office staff identifies opportunities, provides information, makes connections, and delivers solid technical backstopping to facilitate initiatives that benefit the agriculture sector in the Americas.
