Arkansas District Export Council (AR DEC)

The Arkansas District Export Council is a nonprofit organization that facilitates and expands exporting within Arkansas. If you are new to exporting or are interested in expanding current opportunities for your business, please reach out to our knowledgeable staff.

Our goal is to centralize resources and reduce knowledge barriers to Arkansas entrepreneurs with an eye on growing their global business. In this vein, we offer free webinars on various topics related to preparing for export and entering new markets. Exporters can access unique mentoring opportunities with a wide array of Arkansas companies currently exporting. 

In addition, the DEC brings together representatives from the Small Business Administration, Arkansas Economic Development Commission, World Trade Center, EXIM Bank, and other governmental agencies that can directly offer guidance on moving forward in intelligently exporting.
