USDA Trade Mission to Vietnam, Southeast Asia

USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Alexis Taylor, will lead a USDA trade mission to Vietnam from September 9th through the 13th.  She’ll be joined at stops in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi by representatives from 58 agribusinesses and organizations and nine state governments that represent the diversity of U.S. agriculture.

“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.”

In 2023, the U.S. exported $3.1 billion worth of agricultural products to Vietnam. The U.S. holds a sizable market share in Vietnam across several commodities like cotton, soybeans, and distillers’ grains, along with consumer products like tree nuts, dairy, and fresh fruit. Participants will connect with several key importers in business-to-business meetings during the visit.
