The Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA®), and the 13 Western State Departments of Agriculture, announce participation and registration in the following activity, which is brought to you by the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service:
Taiwan Consumer-Oriented Inbound Trade Mission:
August 18-19, 2015 in Portland, OR
August 21-22, 2015 in Honolulu, HI
Benefits from participating in the activity include:
Meet one-on-one with pre-qualified buyers from Taiwan
Feature your products and learn about regional preferences
Discuss buyer plans for promoting healthy, active lifestyles
This will be an excellent opportunity for companies to participate in the growing Taiwan market. In 2014, U.S. Western States exported over $1.57 billion in agricultural products to Taiwan, ranking it the 8th largest agricultural export market in the region. According to reports from the Taiwan Agricultural Trade Office (ATO), popular food products that are appealing to regional consumers include items that offer convenience (ready-to-eat), uniqueness (specialty products), and are functional (meet health, weight, dietary needs). Taiwan buyers are focusing on how to meet this demand.
Meeting times are limited and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. WUSATA encourages companies to register early.
