Kamps Hardwoods in Caledonia received the 2020 Michigan Agriculture Exporter of the Year Award, presented by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), according to a news release from MDARD's website.
MDARD recognizes food and agriculture companies each year for attempting to increase the state's exports of food and agriculture products.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said that it was a pleasure to recognize Kamps Hardwoods for its efforts.
"Over the past few years, Kamps Hardwoods has emerged as a preferred supplier of unique and high-quality hardwoods throughout the state, the country, Canada and other regions of the world, and I am proud to recognize them as the 2020 Agriculture Exporter of the Year," Whitmer said, according to MDARD.
MDARD Director Gary McDowell said Kamps' efforts were worthy of recognition.
“Achieving such a broad global reach in such a short time is no small feat, and this is a perfect way to recognize that achievement, as well as showcase the diversity of Michigan’s food and agriculture industry," McDowell said, according to MDARD.
