Dave Heineman on Free Trade

Republican NE Governor

Expand trade with Taiwan & Hong Kong

I am a strong supporter of expanded trade; today's announcement represents an important continuation of our trade efforts. Taiwan and Hong Kong are both very important markets for the state of Nebraska. They have been good customers, and it is critical that we continue to explore new opportunities with them.

Promote exports with trade office in Tokyo

As one of Nebraska’s leading export markets, and the largest overseas market, Japan holds tremendous promise for our state, and the office will be located in the heart of Tokyo’s business district. We want to enhance Nebraska’s opportunities for international trade, and Japan continues to present excellent opportunities for industries in our state. In addition to pursuing opportunities to promote Nebraska products, we are also interested in efforts to increase foreign investment in our state.
