USDA Recruiting Exporters for September Trade Mission to Vietnam

The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service is now accepting applications from current and potential U.S. exporters for a trade mission to Vietnam September 9-13. Participants will attend events in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, and will also engage with buyers from Burma, Cambodia, and Thailand.

“Southeast Asian markets hold immense opportunity for U.S. exporters,” says Alexis Taylor, USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs. “In 2023, the U.S. exported $3.1 billion worth of agricultural products to Vietnam, maintaining a sizable market share across several food and ag-related categories, including cotton, dairy, distillers grains, fresh fruit, poultry, soybeans, and tree nuts.”

She also says USDA is confident that the agency can help U.S. exporters grow and diversify their markets in Southeast Asia and boost economic returns for America’s farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses. Trade missions connect key importers for business-to-business meetings and learn more about local and regional market conditions.
