Ho Chi Minh City (VNA) – The “United Tastes" programme was kicked off in Ho Chi Minh City on September 9.
Under Secretary for Trade and Foreign Agricultural Affairs of the US Alexis M. Taylor said event is a key opportunity for US businesses to explore Vietnam's supply chain and retail market. It also connects Vietnamese consumers and businesses with American products, targeting both households and the HoReCa sector (hotel, restaurant, and catering services).
He highlighted that Vietnam is a potential market for the US, especially regarding agricultural and food products, and recent years have seen an expansion of the US’ exports to the Southeast Asian country.
