Don't miss this Outbound Trade Mission to Seoul, Korea, sponsored by the Western U.S. Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA®) and the 13 Western State Departments of Agriculture.
Korea Outbound Trade Mission ~ October 25 - 27, 2017
Korea remains the 5th largest market for U.S. food and agriculture products, with sales reaching $6.8 billion USD. Consumer oriented products such as beef, pork, dairy, processed fruit and tree nut products grew 22% directly from U.S. exports, with sales equaling $3.5 billion USD. Korea's economy is growing at a steady rate and they continue to be an important trading partner for the U.S.
Korea's Free Trade Agreement with the U.S. makes top quality American products even more attractive to the country's importers and distributors. The mission leverages Food Week Korea, one of the largest and most targeted food shows for US retail and food service products. The delegation will walk the show, and meet with a wide range of buyers including supermarkets, department stores, convenience stores, food services, online/offline distributors, and trading companies. This is a trade mission you do not want to miss!
