USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (USDA-FAS) has announced the participants in its upcoming agribusiness trade mission to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, November 9–12, 2026. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Alexander Vaden will lead the delegation, which is the largest sent to Vietnam in USDA-FAS history. It includes 43 U.S. businesses, 37 agricultural trade and industry organizations, and representatives from the California, Kansas and Wisconsin State Departments of Agriculture. USLGE will be participating. The mission will connect American exporters directly with Vietnamese buyers, importers and distributors to expand sales opportunities in one of Asia’s most dynamic and growing markets.
Vietnam was the 7th-largest export market for U.S. agricultural and related products in 2025, importing nearly $5.6 billion, and U.S. agricultural exports to Vietnam increased 38% from 2024 to 2025. During the mission, participants will take part in business-to-business meetings, market briefings, site visits and promotional events designed to introduce U.S. products to Vietnamese consumers and strengthen existing commercial relationships.
The Vietnam agribusiness trade mission builds on USDA's ongoing work to expand agricultural trade throughout Southeast Asia and follows an earlier Trade Reciprocity for U.S. Manufacturers and Producers Mission to Vietnam in March.

In September 2026, the Agricultural Trade Office in Monterrey, U.S. Livestock Genetics Export, U.S. Soybean Export Council, and U.S. Grains and BioProducts Council held their 3rd U.S. Beef Cattle Genetics & Nutrition Roadshow in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Mexico’s beef cattle industry, valued at around $10 billion annually, is key to northern Mexico’s economy and U.S.-Mexico trade. Focused on advancing livestock genetics and nutrition to boost herd productivity and beef quality, the event linked U.S. suppliers, Mexican producers, USDA cooperators, State Departments of Agriculture, and other stakeholders.
