Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Alexis M. Taylor will lead a USDA trade mission to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, Vietnam, Sept. 9-13, joined by representatives from 58 agribusinesses and organizations and nine state governments that represent the diversity of U.S. agriculture. While the trade mission takes place in Vietnam, it will also provide U.S. agribusinesses a gateway to the Southeast Asia region thanks to participation by potential customers from Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia and Thailand.
“Vietnam’s continued economic growth, ongoing reform and young population have combined to create a dynamic and quickly evolving environment for high-quality and diverse American agricultural products,” said Taylor. “Our collaboration has secured market access for a variety of American products, including most recently stone fruit and grapefruit.”
Vietnam and the rest of Southeast Asia holds immense opportunity for U.S. exporters, with rising consumer incomes, growing middle class populations and favorable perceptions of U.S. food and agriculture. In 2023, the United States exported $3.1 billion of agricultural products to Vietnam. As the third-largest supplier of food and farm products to Vietnam, the United States holds sizable market share across several categories, including bulk commodities such as cotton, soybeans and distillers grains, as well as consumer-oriented products such as tree nuts, dairy, poultry and fresh fruit.
Trade mission participants will connect with key importers for business-to-business meetings and learn about local and regional market conditions through detailed market briefings from USDA Foreign Agricultural Service staff, industry experts and government contacts.
