A US trade delegation of 100 participants, including 35 business representatives, officials from nine state departments of agriculture, and representatives from 21 USDA cooperators, are visiting Vietnam.
The agricultural trade mission, led by the US Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs, Alexis Taylor, aims to mark the first anniversary of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries.
During a press briefing, Taylor explained the trade mission's focus on connecting with critical importers for business-to-business meetings and learning about local and regional market conditions through site visits and briefings with industry experts and government officials in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
According to Taylor, Southeast Asian markets hold immense opportunities for US exporters. Vietnamese consumers are increasingly turning to US products to meet the growing demand for food processing, retail, and restaurant sectors, with exceptional presence in tree nut, fresh fruit, poultry, beef, and pork industries.
"Our presence is comprehensive and ambitious in Vietnam, working frequently with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and other government agencies," she said.
The trade mission follows the recent expansion of market access for US peaches and nectarines. It has coincided with the first anniversary of the US-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, when leaders of both countries reaffirmed the importance of economic, trade, and investment cooperation and innovation-driven inclusive economic growth as the core foundations and sources of momentum in the bilateral relationship.
