USDA Deputy Secretary Stephen Vaden arrived in Ho Chi Minh City to lead a three-day mission connecting U.S. exporters with Vietnamese importers and distributors. The delegation includes 43 agribusinesses and 37 trade organizations, and USDA highlighted growth opportunities for U.S. ethanol, dairy products and premium beef.
Vietnam imported more than $5.6 billion in U.S. agricultural and related products last year, with U.S. agricultural exports there up 38% from 2024 to 2025.
The mission aims to build export channels and market share, which could support future U.S. ethanol, dairy and beef sales in Vietnam. It signals potential demand rather than a confirmed purchase, so any price effect is likely limited for now.
