Key Points

- Rural businesses often have a harder time reaching global markets because they are far from major shipping hubs and big city networks.
- The new centers would provide customized market research and planning to help small-town companies find international buyers for their specific products.
- The Department of Commerce would be required to open the national office within six months and the regional offices within one year.
- These offices will track how many businesses they help and the total value of the goods sold to make sure the program is working well.
