Gov. Mike Kehoe Leads Trade Mission to Italy

Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe will be leading a trade mission to Italy this week, and Ag Director Chris Chinn will be attending.

There are meetings scheduled with several companies that are already located in Missouri, including Bertagni, which manufacturers pasta and other food.

Missouri and Italy are trading partners, with leather and allied products, chemicals and machinery among the export goods in high demand. Exports to Italy were up nearly 50 percent between 2024 and 2025.

The last Missouri trade mission to Italy happened in May 2024.
