AFIA's Tumbarello reappointed to US Foreign Agricultural Service trade role

The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) reports that Gina Tumbarello (pictured), its senior director of global strategies, policy, and trade, has been reappointed to serve on the US Foreign Agricultural Service’s Agricultural Technical Advisory Committee (ATAC) for trade in grains, feed, oilseeds, and planting seeds.

Tumbarello has represented AFIA members on the ATAC since 2014.

The ATACs offer technical advice and information about specific agricultural commodities and products.

Meanwhile, Kent Swisher, CEO of the North American Renderers Association (NARA), has been selected to serve on the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Agricultural Policy Advisory Committee (APAC).

The APAC provides advice on the administration of US trade policy, including implementation and enforcement of existing US trade agreements and negotiating objectives for new trade agreements. The AFIA's CEO, Constance Cullman, also sits on that committee.
