USDA accepting applications for Vietnam agribusiness trade mission

USDA Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke J. Lindberg highlighted Vietnam's significance as the seventh-largest export market for U.S. agriculture and the second-largest supplier of agricultural goods. He stated that the mission will build upon previous successes and secure further benefits for American farmers and agricultural producers in this critical market.

Vietnam's growing population of over 100 million, coupled with rising incomes and a rapidly expanding GDP, presents substantial export potential for U.S. agribusinesses. The country's booming food processing, hospitality, and retail sectors are key drivers of this demand. The application deadline for interested U.S. exporters is July 27, 2026.
