.@LtGovToland and I welcomed members of the @JETROUSA delegation & Consul General to Kansas last week. Our partnership and economic ties are stronger than ever, driving growth and prosperity for both our regions. Together, we'll continue this momentum.
Honored to join @GovLauraKelly in welcoming members of the @JETROUSA delegation & Consul General to Kansas last week. Kansas-Japan economic ties continue to grow, with nearly $1B in #KS goods exported to the country in 2023 & ongoing Japanese investment that isn't slowing down.

Yesterday, I visited @Marubeni_Corp in Tokyo. Their over $35 million investment in Creekstone Farms significantly improved the Arkansas City facility. In 2020, Creekstone Farms won our Exporter of the Year Award thanks to savvy global trade and outstanding leadership.
