Posted Jul 16, 2026 4:59 PM

The USDA is accepting applications through July 27 for its Agribusiness Trade Mission to Vietnam, scheduled for November 9-12. The trade mission will connect U.S. farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses with buyers in Vietnam and neighboring Cambodia through business meetings, site visits, and market briefings.

USDA Undersecretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Luke Lindberg says, "This mission will build on our rapid response trade mission we just wrapped up in March and lock in wins for American farmers and agricultural producers in this critical market."

Vietnam is the seventh-largest export market for U.S. agriculture, purchasing $5.6 billion in American farm products in 2025. USDA says strong opportunities exist for fresh fruit, dairy products, poultry, feed ingredients, cotton, ethanol, seafood, and forestry products, while growing consumer demand for healthier foods is creating additional opportunities for U.S. organic and premium food manufacturers.
