The opening ceremony was attended by the US Department of Agriculture’s Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs Alexis Taylor and a delegation of US businesses.
The event is an opportunity for US businesses to experience Vietnam’s supply chain and retail market, said Taylor. “United Tastes” connects Vietnamese consumers and businesses with American products, targeting both households and the HoReCa sector, which includes hotel, restaurant, and catering services, Taylor said.
“I am honored to lead this diverse delegation to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi as we celebrate the first anniversary of the US-Vietnam Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Agriculture plays a huge role in our bilateral trade relationship, and Vietnam now ranks as the United States’ 10th-largest export market for agricultural and food products,” Under Secretary Taylor said.
