The International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) is organizing a
2-week study tour on Advances in Agricultural Production and Fertilization
in the United States. The program will be conducted June 18-29, 2001, and
will involve visits to a number of locations where new and progressive
technologies are being developed and implemented.
The program fee is US $1,800 (US $2,000 for late registrants) and covers
registration, training materials, and surface transportation in the United
States. The fee does not cover board and lodging and miscellaneous expenses
during the program, international air travel, or air travel within the
United States.
We invite you to participate or to nominate personnel from your organization
who will benefit from the program. To enroll, please complete the enclosed
program registration form and return it to us by June 5, 2001. Please note
there will be an additional charge for late registration.
Most international participants will be required to have a visa to enter the
United States. Therefore, we strongly encourage any prospective program
participants to contact the United States Embassy/Consulate to schedule an
appointment. This should be done as early as possible, e.g., 3-4 months
before the program commences.
We look forward to participation of representatives from your organization.
We would also request your assistance in distributing this announcement,
perhaps through professional organizations, industry associations, and
personal contacts. Please feel free to distribute copies of the brochure to
interested parties, and we will gladly send additional copies upon request.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
