USMEF Broadens Efforts in Vietnam
Beef imports
Vietnam’s increased imports of U.S. beef and progress made on U.S. pork are among the major export success stories in recent years, and are indicative of the high level of interest and willingness to purchase U.S. red meats overseas once market access is established.
Vietnam’s economy is enjoying unprecedented economic growth, benefiting greatly from the boom of its northern neighbor, China, where rising costs are driving some labor-intensive light industries across the border into this nation of 85 million. Economic growth reached 8.5 percent last year, slightly below that of China but among the highest in the region.
16 U.S. Agriculture Industry Leaders Study Mexico Export Market
U.S.Meat Export Federation Leads International Trade Mission
A group of 16 leaders from the U.S. grain, pork and beef industries last week visited meat processing plants, retail and food services outlets, as well as cold storage facilities and freight forwarders in Mexico, to gain a deeper understanding of how U.S. red meats are currently utilized and where there are growth opportunities for U.S. beef and pork products in Mexico.
“Mexico is a critical export market for both U.S. beef and pork, and has huge upside growth potential,” said U.S. Meat Export Federation President and CEO Philip M. Seng. “As a result, the export market to Mexico is equally important for U.S. corn and soybean growers who provide the feed to support our livestock.”
