USDA will lead a trade mission to Hong Kong from May 12-16 to enhance market access and expand American agricultural exports. The delegation includes more than three dozen agribusinesses, trade organizations, and representatives from five state departments of agriculture.
“Hong Kong is a key gateway for U.S. agricultural exports, connecting our farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses with one of the most dynamic markets in Asia,” said Mark Slupek of the Foreign Agricultural Service. In 2024, Hong Kong was the 18th-largest market for U.S. ag products, importing $1.4 billion in goods. As a free port and gateway to Southeast Asia, Hong Kong plays a crucial role in facilitating food and agricultural exports.
Hong Kong is also considered Asia’s culinary capital and ranks as the eleventh-largest market for U.S. consumer-oriented agricultural products. Trade mission participants will engage in business-to-business meetings with buyers from Hong Kong and a buyer delegation from the Philippines.
