The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

From 2004 to 2013, the number of Idaho food manufacturers rose 29 percent, to 302. The industry was Idaho’s 11th largest employer in 2014, according to the Idaho Department of Commerce, and it accounted for 18 percent of all foreign exports.

Commerce Director Jeff Sayer, who in addition to GoGo squeeZ has recruited food manufacturers such as Amy’s Kitchen (Pocatello), and Chobani and Glanbia (Twin Falls area), said Idaho is building its reputation as a destination for food manufacturing. His evidence: Idaho’s concentration of such businesses is twice the national average.

"Facts are facts," Sayer said. "Idaho is a food state."
