Letter of Support for Expo 2031 Minnesota, USA from Commissioner Thom Petersen / Minnesota Department of Agriculture

January 26, 2024

I am writing to share the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s (MDA’s) support of efforts to bring the International Horticultural Expo to Minnesota. We are delighted to join the University of Minnesota and others in their support.

We are excited by the possibility of Minnesota – and the U.S. – hosting an International Horticultural Expo for the first time, and MDA will provide assistance however possible.
