PRIDE OF DAKOTA'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY

2005 marks the twentieth year of Pride of Dakota. We're very proud of our twenty successful years of bolstering North Dakota businesses.

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture created the program in 1985 to develop, improve and expand domestic and foreign markets for North Dakota products.

Pride of Dakota is funded by state revenues.The program began with just 18 original members. Twenty years later, we have more than 400 members.

Ninety percent are active members -- large and small manufacturers or food processors with plants or businesses located completely or partially in North Dakota.

The remaining ten percent are associate members -- commodity groups, government agencies, educational institutions, retailers or wholesalers which support the program.

Our purpose is to help promote North Dakota companies. What can we do for your business?
