海伦娜——蒙大拿州州长格雷格·詹福特宣布，他将于10月5日至9日率领一支30多人的代表团访问印度与斯里兰卡，开展战略经贸使命，推广蒙大拿州的农产品、高等教育、关键矿产、制造业、光子学、量子技术与生物科学。
詹福特表示，印度是蒙大拿州重要的新兴市场：蒙大拿是美国鹰嘴豆与小扁豆的第一大产区，2025年印度购买了价值1,400多万美元的蒙大拿农产品，2024年这一数字为6,400万美元。印度目前是蒙大拿州第29大贸易伙伴。代表团此行还将在新德里会见美国驻印度大使塞尔吉奥·戈尔（Sergio Gor）。
这是詹福特任内又一次海外经贸使命。此前他曾率团访问亚洲与欧洲多国，旨在为蒙大拿州的农牧产品与高科技产业打开新市场。州政府称，代表团成员包括农牧企业主、大学代表与科技公司高管。
斯里兰卡是此行新增的一站。州政府表示，南亚市场对蒙大拿州的豆类、牛肉与矿产需求持续增长。

Gianforte Announces Trade Mission to India and Sri Lanka Oct. 5-9 with 30+ Delegation
HELENA — Montana Governor Greg Gianforte has announced he will lead a 30-plus-member delegation to India and Sri Lanka Oct. 5-9 on a strategic trade mission, promoting Montana agriculture, higher education, critical minerals, manufacturing, photonics, quantum technology and bioscience.
Gianforte said India is an important emerging market for Montana: the state is the nation's top producer of chickpeas and lentils, and India bought more than $14 million in Montana agricultural products in 2025 ($64 million in 2024). India is currently Montana's 29th-largest trading partner. The delegation will also meet U.S. Ambassador to India Sergio Gor in New Delhi.
It is another overseas trade mission of Gianforte's tenure; he has previously led delegations to Asia and Europe to open new markets for Montana farm products and high-tech industries. State officials said the delegation includes ranchers and farmers, university representatives and tech executives.
Sri Lanka is a new stop on this trip. The state said South Asian demand for Montana pulses, beef and minerals keeps growing.
