Provisionaire & Co. LLC dba Field Trip was formed in 2010 and is gaining new market shares with their healthy, protein-rich snacks. “Field Trip is a healthy lifestyle brand aimed at providing delicious and versatile snacks that complement a large variety of on-the-go consumers.” Their products are continuing to gain popularity and now they are expanding into new international markets with the help of Food Export’s Branded Program.

Food Export uses funding from the Market Access Program (MAP) to help America’s small businesses increase their exports of food and agricultural products. As these exports increase, these small businesses are creating jobs and improving the strength and stability of our agricultural economy. Food Export-Midwest and Food Export-Northeast are non-profit organizations that work in collaboration with their member state departments of agriculture and the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service. They offer a wide range of programs and services that help boost America’s agricultural exports.
